Curious—with Bay Area rolling power blackouts, are charging stations affected? Or do they only shut down neighborhoods? Not that they have them often, but they do happen in the West Bay.

I believe some rural areas may have had their power shutoff for high winds this year but I don't think that affected very many people.
Long story short, rolling blackouts aren't an issue.

Day to day, I don’t think it’s something to worry about or consider, but it does touch everyone.
Except us here in Sac. And a few other places on independent grids (Oakland, Palo Alto maybe, etc.)

I'd like to know about anyone that does the sfo-las commute. Got based out that way on a NB. Anyone out there doing it that can share some insights please and thanks?

If you are familiar with Priority Pass, there is a lounge close to UA gates - but they need to scan a real boarding pass.

Why don’t you do a simple google search and let us know what you find. I’m interested to but too lazy to type priority pass into a search engine.
