Leaving commentary about PG&E management out of the picture and focusing on technical aspects...
I got a blurb today by email from PG&E about their procedures for shutting off electricity to high-fire danger areas to mitigate the risk of wildfires such as we have been having in California. It sounds like they would be able to do this with a bit of advance notice, as the point of this email was to encourage customers to have current contact information.
Would the Powerwall backend servers have sufficient information (and appropriate policy) to treat an upcoming "Public Safety Power Shutoff" like a Stormwatch event so the Powerwalls could charge up in advance of a known outage?
