I have had that dream...
A world mostly full of EVs because the low cost to operate and so fun to drive.
I imagined a world powered by solar with an abundance of low cost power during the day and mostly battery powered or nuclear overnight even if a bit more expensive.
Imagine the vehicles will charge during peak solar hours at home or work. 40 amps max required for daily top-off.
Imagine most homes also have some solar and battery storage. This reduces the grid connection needed to only 50 to 80 amps instead of 100 to 200 amps.
Imagine this starts to allow higher living density on the existing grid. Also increasing grid reliability and some independence during an emergency.
Imagine during inclement weather when the lines are down most neighborhoods would disconnect from the main grid and for a few days automatically have their own local grid prioritized for those with medical or other special needs.
And the dream is not yet complete. There will be more advantages and improvements not even contemplated yet.
