I'm sure they'll have this sorted before their forced swotxh to EV goes in to effect.
California is already experimenting with these programs, e.g.: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/california-approves-117m-ve...
Even without vehicle-to-grid programs, electric car owners can already choose to charge later at night when the demand peak has passed (and power is cheaper).
Precisely why I have a diesel generator to deliver 40kW of power to my home. I’ll turn it on if my local utility ever imposes restrictions.
I am curious if your home happens to contains a small datacenter and/or crypto mine. 40kW is a shitload of power. You could run 10 tons of HVAC and still have over 24kW remaining to play with. Which is plenty to charge 2 Teslas at the same time using 2 different Wall Connectors at maximum output and still have a few kW margin...

We had rolling outages in the Bay Area in Alameda at least. They did two circuits at a time instead of one too. https://twitter.com/alamedamunipwr/status/156732197303394304...
The bag of tricks CalISO has to lower demand at peak is fascinating - for example, there are large consumers with significant generation resources (like emergency generators) that sign in to turn the generators on and get off the grid for a couple of hours. This produces drops in demand without blackouts per-se. Distributed power generation is generally more resilient.

I'll note that 40kW is only about 53HP, not a very large engine for a car. It's approximately the power of two commercial lawn mowers.
