“The electric vehicle market is growing and will continue to grow.”

Yeah, but where are they going to get the “juice?” It’s fine to build a charging network, but I doubt that the electrical grid can support the projected imposed load. All those nuclear plants that have been closed, and the one’s never built were the key to a successful EV rollout. No reason to buy an EV when you have to burn fossil fuels to charge it. I personally think EVs are great vehicles, but to suggest that they are “green” in today’s energy production scenario is laughable.

Why aren’t the electricity producers sounding the alarm?

It comes out of the wall, comrade! lol

Details, schmetails. Yeah no, the grid is in no way even remotely close to supporting this.

No problem. Magic solar panels will take care of the load.

There’s no doubt about it. Our electric grid is overloaded as it is. You can’t take the energy that’s supplied to autos through the gasoline distribution system and instead impose it on the electricity transmission and distribution system.

The sad irony is those who want EVs are ALSO trying to get rid of sources of electricity.
