Let’s review electrical transformers boys and girls..... They work hard all day and get HOT transforming electricity do to demand which equals the load on the transformer. A night time the transformer COOLS off with the lower demand (load). This is a design feature to help transformer last longer. Well here comes EV’s and their charging at night, ie more load, more HEAT! So the life span of a transformer is decreased meaning some one needs to build more transformers which have lots of copper which is getting expensive and scarce...... see a problem boys and girls?

” some one needs to build more transformers which have lots of copper which is getting expensive and scarce...... see a problem boys and girls?”

hmmmmm .........
Copper inventories at the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell to under 135 thousand tonnes in May, the lowest this year, and those at the London Metal Exchange were under 60 thousand tonnes, the lowest since 2005. Also, Chile said this year’s output is estimated to sink as much as 7% after the 10.6% decline in 2022.

mmm........ no .... I got nothing ... just don’t see it ....
..no clue ... drawing a blank here bud ...
