Are there flat towable EVs? Last I heard, the answer was no but I see no technological reason they couldn't change that.

In case you haven't notice Some RVers now tow with EVs and others tow EVs behind Class A, B, & C motor homes.

So why are EV sales the only focus for slowing in increases in power consumption? Shouldn’t we be looking at all large or fast growing power consumption sectors?

Nobody charges an EV at home during daylight hours anyway. Our timer is set for 1 AM. It’s always done by 3 AM. Much cheaper.

ELECTRICITY DEMAND IN TRANSPORTATION REMAINS LOW
We project that demand for electricity grows fastest in the transportation sector, even as consumption in that sector remains less than 3% of economy-wide electricity consumption in the Reference case. Fully electric vehicles grow from less than 1% of the on-road LDV fleet in 2021 to a little over 7% in 2050 in the Reference case. The increase in demand primarily follows evolutionary electric vehicle (EV) technology and market developments, as well as current fuel economy regulations. Both vehicle sales and utilization (miles driven) would need to increase substantially for EVs to raise electric power demand growth rates by more than a fraction of a percentage point per year. The transportation sector’s share of electricity consumption is greatest in the High Oil Price case, where it reaches 5% of the total in 2050.

Despite the implication it’s not really an issue due to charging EVs; it’s a grid issue highlighted by any additional draw (new houses, greater AC use during higher temps, reduced generation, charging EVs, new Casinos etc). While I read comments about not increasing EV charging I don’t read comments about not adding new houses to the grid.
