Where are you going to get ALL the electric for 300,000 electric vehicles? That's a lot of Amp Hours. KEN

It takes 27 kwh to go 100 miles in a Bev. On a 30 amp service that is 7.5 hours of consumption. On a 50 amp RV service it is 2.25 hours.

How often do you drive 100 miles in a day in your car?

I think the impact on the power grid caused by electric passenger vehicles will be phased in pretty gradually since most people drive 50 miles or less a day. Large commercial vehicles that draw 1 kwh or more per mile driven and travel 200+ miles per day might be a challenge to charge daily, especially if an outfit has 100+ vehicles to be charged.

Agreed. There will be closer coordination between the utilities and truck depots to make it all work. This must be already happening at Superchargers with 52 V3 Superchargers. I think some of them have on site storage to lighten the grid load at peak times. Some of the Superchargers along the I5 are huge.
