Good morning.
Which grid in which country, state, province or region are you referring to

Not yours John, ours here in the states.
Intresting. I’m not up on the state of the grid in the US (really not up to date on any province but my own and maybe a few countries in europe) but am surprised that it would be in bad shape like that. No doubt EV’s will put an additional load on the grid but on average an electric vehicle adds the equivalent annual load to the grid as a residential water heater. There is some good info on this on the BC Hydro website. Essentially if every vehicle in BC was to be electric tomorrow it would add 19 percent load to the grid. Other countries have calculated similar numbers plus or minus 5 percent...distances etc.
It will be interesting how it pans out.
