First, pretty much a forgone conclusion that the PUC will approve the rate hike. They almost always do.
Second, just wait until all the utilities across the country start demanding, and getting, major rate hikes to start building the infrastructure for EVs and EV charging. It will bankrupt many and turn people into slaves of the state dependant on government subsidies and government hand-outs. But the planet will be saved and you will own nothing and be happy.
It may be time to start looking for another country to call home. :(
