Shaja Ebusuku, Londoloza Imali, Yehlisa Ukukhishwa Kwamagesi

Njalo kusihlwa, isidingo sikagesi siyakhuphuka. Abantu bafika ekhaya, bavula isitofu, baphakamisa ukufudumala noma i-AC, bavule amalambu — konke ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ezindaweni lapho ugesi utholakala ikakhulukazi ngamalahle noma igesi, lokho kusho ukuvulwa kwamapulazi kagesi angeziwe ukuze kuhlangabezane nesidingo, okukhuphula ukungcola emoyeni. Ezinye izindawo, ukwamukelwa kwe-EV sekuphakeme ngokwanele ukuthi ukushaja kusihlwa kuyinkinga enkulu futhi ekhula kunethiwekhi — okwenza isikhathi sokushaja sibe semqoka kakhulu kunakuqala.

Ividiyo ye-NASA engezansi ikhombisa i-CO2 ihamba emoyeni womhlaba, iphethwe umoya. Imininingwane yayo inembile ngokwanele ukulandela ukukhishwa kwamagesi kwamapulazi kagesi ngamunye nokubuka ukuthi kusabalala kanjani emhlabeni wonke. Ungabona ngisho nezinga le-CO2 likhuphuka lehla ngokuvumelana nomjikelezo wansuku zonke womsebenzi wabantu — ubufakazi bokuthi umjikelezo wokungcola phakathi kosuku nobusuku uyenzeka futhi uyabonakala esikhaleni. Isikhumbuzo sokuthi ukukhetha kwakho isikhathi sokusebenzisa ugesi kungaba nomthelela wangempela.

Manje cabanga ngobusuku bonke. Abantu abaningi balala, abashayeli, futhi abaxhumi izintambo. Isidingo sikagesi siyawa, ngakho inethiwekhi inamandla angeziwe. Ezindaweni ezincike kumalahle noma igesi, lokho kusho ukuthi amapulazi kagesi asebenza kancane — ngakho ugesi uhlanzekile. Kuvame futhi ukuba kubize kancane, uma inkampani yakho yegesi inikeza amanani okusebenzisa amandla ngesikhathi esithile, lapho intengo oyikhokhayo ishintsha ngokususelwa ngesikhathi usebenzisa ugesi. Akusikho konke okuphakelayo okwenza lokhu, kodwa lapho kutholakala khona, amahora ebusuku ngokuvamile ayabiza kancane kakhulu. Kubashayeli be-EV abaningi, ukushaja ubusuku bonke kusuka koxhumo olujwayelekile kudlulisela ibanga elanele lokuhamba ngosuku olulandelayo.

Kusiza futhi ukuqonda umehluko phakathi kwezinhlobo ezimbili ezinkulu zokushaja ekhaya. Ishaja ye-Level 2 idonsa cishe amakhilowathi angu-7 futhi ingashaja ngokuphelele ama-EV amaningi phakathi kwamahora angu-3 kuya kwangu-5 — isheshayo futhi ilula, futhi akukho okungalungile ngayo. Kodwa ngoba idonsa amandla amaningi ngesikhathi esifushane, isikhathi sibalulekile: iseshini ye-Level 2 eqala ngo-6pm ithinta inethiwekhi kakhulu ngesikhathi wonke umuntu esebenzisa ugesi. Uma isetshenziswa ebusuku, leyo shaja ye-Level 2 iyinhle — iphela ngokushesha phakathi namahora okungasebenzi kakhulu, lapho inethiwekhi inamandla angeziwe okwamukela amandla. I-120V ejwayelekile ye-Level 1, ngakolunye uhlangothi, idonsa cishe amakhilowathi angu-1.4 — cishe izikhathi ezinhlanu ngaphansi. Ishaja kancane, ifaka amandla ebhethri ngokuhamba kwamahora angu-8 kuya kwangu-12. Lokhu kudonsa kancane, okuqhubekayo kusatshalaliswa ebusuku, ngakho noma umuntu exhuma ngemva kwesidlo sakusihlwa, ukushaja okuningi kwenzeka ngesikhathi elele, lapho inethiwekhi ithule. Ezidingweni zansuku zonke zabashayeli abaningi, lokhu kuyanele. Nokho, uma izakhamuzi eziningi zixhuma ngesikhathi esisodwa, noma imithwalo emincane iyahlanganiswa — yingakho amathuluzi entengo ebalulekile ku-L1 kanye ne-L2.

Inkinga kubantu abahlala emafulethini nasezindlini eziningi ukuthi bavame ukungakwazi ukushaja ekhaya nhlobo — kungakhathaliseki ukukhetha isikhathi sokwenza lokho. Yilokho i-EVnSteven eklanyelwe ukukugcwalisa.

Nge-EVnSteven, abaphathi bezakhiwo bangasetha intengo yokushaja ngokususelwa esikhathini sosuku. Ngokujwayelekile, isikhathi sokushaja kusihlwa siqala cishe ngo-6pm kuya ku-11pm, kanti ubusuku bonke kusukela ku-11pm kuya ku-7am — futhi abaphathi bangasetha intengo ehlukile ngehora ngalinye leso sikhathi. Ukuze unikeze umbono ongacacile: isakhiwo singase sishaje u-$0.50 ngehora ebusuku futhi $2.00 ngehora ngesikhathi sokushaja kusihlwa — amanani aqondile ancike kumphathi, kodwa le ngxenye idala isikhuthazo sangempela sokuthi izakhamuzi zilinde kuze kube yisikhathi sokulala. Uhlelo luhlola ukusetshenziswa ngehora futhi lukhokhisa izakhamuzi nyangazonke, ezikhokha isakhiwo. Izakhiwo zingasetha amanani azo ukuze zithole kuphela izindleko zikagesi, noma zishaye intengo ephakeme ukuze zithole inzuzo. Lokho kuncike kubo ngokuphelele. Uma isakhamuzi likhohlwa ukushaja ebusuku futhi lidinga ukugcwalisa ngaphambi komsebenzi, lingaxhuma — lizokhokha intengo ephezulu yesikhathi esiphakeme. Ukukhetha kuhlala kungokwabo.

Ukuqala kulula. I-EVnSteven isebenza namaxhumo ajwayelekile e-120V, ngakho izakhiwo eziningi zingaqala ukusebenzisa oxhumo asebekhona. Lapho kudingeka oxhumo abasha, zibiza kancane kakhulu ukufakwa kunamashaja e-Level 2 — i-L1 isebenzisa intambo yethusi emincane, ebiza kancane ukuthenga nokudlulisela esakhiweni. Uhlelo lukhokhisa ngokuzenzakalelayo, ngakho uma amanani esethwe, akekho umphathi wesakhiwo okudingeka alawule noma aphathe nsuku zonke.

Ezindlini ezinezixhumo ze-Level 1 ne-Level 2 — noma ezicabanga ukufaka i-Level 2 eduze kwe-Level 1 esivele ikhona — i-EVnSteven inikeza okuhle kokubili, ngokusetha amanani azimele kuhlobo ngalunye lweshaja. Izindawo ze-Level 2 zingabiza kancane ebusuku — zikhuthaza izakhamuzi ukuthi zilinde — futhi zibe phezulu kusihlwa, ukuze zikhuthaze ukuthi zingashaji ngokushesha ngesikhathi sokucindezela okuphezulu. Oxhumo be-Level 1 bangaba namanani athambile kusihlwa nasemini, ngoba umthwalo wabo omncane ulula kunethiwekhi. Umphumela uhlelo oluguquguqukayo olusebenza kubahlali abahlukene nezikhathi ezahlukene.

Uma lusebenza ngendlela ehleliwe, izinzuzo ziyanda. Izakhamuzi ezishaja ebusuku zikhokha kancane futhi azidingi ukucabanga kakhulu ngalokho. Abaphathi bezakhiwo abakhokhisa ngokucophelela bathola izindleko zikagesi ngaphandle kokutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu ekuqaleni. Futhi ezindaweni ezisebenzisa amafutha ezimbiwa phansi, ukushintsha ingxenye yokushaja ukuya kumahora angaphandle kwesikhathi esiphakeme kusho ukuthi amapulazi kagesi angeziwe asebenza kancane — nokunciphisa ukungcola jikelele. Okubalulekile ukuthi akudingeki umuntu abe ngumvikeli wemvelo ukuze lokhu kusebenze — kumane nje kudingeka bakhethe ukukhokha kancane. Lokho kuyisikhuthazo esithembekile kakhulu.
