Let’s just take one of Tesla’s electric semis as an example. The truck supposedly has a battery capacity of 900 kWH. So to fully recharge it from 0 in one hour it would require a charger with an output of 900 kW. So let’s say we have a truck stop with 10 charging stations for electric semis. And let’s assume for planning purposes that at some point all 10 will be in use at the same time. That would be an electrical demand of 9,000 kW or 9 MW. That my friends is the same as a small-medium size factory. Multiply that scenario hundreds of times and you can see the potential problem. And that’s just for semis.

To paraphrase Napoleon: “Do not attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity”.

The greens live in a fantasy world - one where electricity is a magical force that will always be there to serve them, as long as they believe strongly enough.

There may be a few nihilists in the movement, but they’re a tiny minority. Not that I haven’t met one or two up there in Ann Arbor where I used to live, but they thought more in terms of Cloward-Piven than the Green Energy Fairy.

Have they even factored in the need for larger diameter electric lines to carry all those amps from the generating stations (yet to be designed and fueled, by the way) to the end user’s communities?

The old project manager in me tells me that the greenie utopians in our world haven’t quite thought this through all the way.

A man charging his electric car explained how the charging station uses more kilowatts per hour than 280 homes

EV technology isn't ready for prime time...

Deep State doesn't care.
