The power grids are already close to maximum use now. Can you imagine what will happen to your home electric bill should most folks be driving an electric rechargeable car and truck? Can you imagine the power demands and crowds with every exit having a hotel for sleeping while you recharge?
Yes yes. The US has a third world grid that can't handle another 20 percent capacity and can never be improved...ever. We have heard it all before on this board. But this is a US problem. The rest of the worlds utilities are not expecting any difficulty in modernizing and accommodating the extra load. I don't pretend to understand the geopolitical problems the US is having with grid modernization but at some point it may be worth hiring some one to come in and sort it out.
Oh. and for the 20 to 30 minutes it takes to charge a modern EV you can eat lunch or have a nap in your car.
