It is common for a 4 bdrm all electric house to consume 4,000 kWh monthly. Then add 2 cars. Compliance will be achieved by making traditional energy sources absurdly expensive.

That seems REALLY HIGH for a 4 bedroom house. Ours is less than a quarter of that but our heat and hot water are natural gas. But our friends have a 3200 ish square foot house and 3 electric vehicles (two teslas and a leaf) and its more like half of that. And that is straight electric, (well, heat pump etc) no natural gas, in BC Canada in the coldest winter month (January) and they do the vast majority of their charging at home (other than road trips). Here is his power analysis. Pretty much all of his power comes from solar on his roof as well.

I don't know. From what I can see the impact on the grid won't be that huge. Solar is getting common in these parts now, on new and older homes. Power is cheap here but it still seems like a lot of people are going solar. (9 cents a kwh) We probably won't just because our power bill is so small. We charge at 2 in the morning every morning. Car is usually charged by three. But we have a short commute of 40 ish kilometers. Maybe 8 KWH max.

JMHO.

Heres his graph he published.
