Interesting. You are the first person I have seen mention that the US grid is not a complete catastrophe on the edge of total collapse at any moment. Pretty much everyone else on this board (and a few others) seem to think that even adding a few electric cars will put the whole country in the dark. Glad to hear it’s not so.
No, you are just one of the dreamers that thinks these cars (and RVs, we're talking about bigger rigs here unless your Tesla 3 is going to pull that 5ver) will somehow run on unicorn farts and that a quick cheesburger break will give your Tesla 3500 another 300miles of range.
In moderation, the grid can support EVs, and the grid can improve, and with mass improvements comes cost and the cost gets passed to the end user and now that $5 charge for your Tesla 3 or the $25 charge for the Tesla 3500 will cost $25 or $50 and $125 or $250 respectively and you'll still need to take 5 cheesburger breaks and 3 naps to get across N Dakota westbound into a headwind.
263 mllion passenger vehicles registered in the USA only, today (at least that's what the googler said). How many is a "few" EVs?
