Has a real conversation been had about the strain millions of extra EVs would have on our power grid? If we all switched to EVs overnight, I don't think the grid could handle it.,(reply>), @blazikenking If the grid went down for a few days, you wouldn't be able to get gas/petrol either...  Why do you assume everyone will need to charge at the same time? Do people all fill up with gas at the same time?,(reply>), @blazikenking Imagine a hurricane evacuation scenario with 100% EVs on the road. It's a nightmare scenario. I think the cars are just barely feasible in the low numbers they're currently at. If the batteries suddenly improved by a factor of 2x, 3x, 4x something like that in every way maybe they're feasible replacements, but it's pretty clear they aren't really ready for that job.,(reply>), @blazikenking The interesting thing is, people also don't talk much about how long an EV takes to charge off even the best home-ready charger (your basic outlet is much longer). From what I've read, if you're willing to drop several grand, you can install a level 2 charger that will charge in somewhere between 5 and 12 hours. Oh, and superchargers? They degrade your battery on frequent use...,(reply>), Speaking of the grid, here's a theoretical situation: severe weather causes the power grid to do down for a number of days. What do you do when your battery powered car can't recharge? What happens when everyone else's battery powered cars can't recharge? And as the grid comes back online, what's the effect of the many desperate people plugging their cars in to recharge them?
