A friend showed me his overnight Tesla fill up. 6 bucks. That really doesn’t seem like much power used compared to everyone running baseboard heaters here in the winter.
A whole street going electric suddenly wouldn’t be great in many places. Hell, just look at all of the electricity-caused wildfires over the last few years. Those places are currently struggling to keep the supply stable. There probably wouldn’t just be one car in each driveway. Many families have multiple vehicles. Most of those would probably be charging at the same time overnight.
If places with really poor power management suddenly took on a lot of EV’s, it would cause further issues. If a power line is already struggling at it’s current capacity, it only makes sense that increasing the load on that same power line would be problematic. Once it’s too much, it’s too much.
So, we should install power systems that can take on that additional capacity if we want everyone to go EV. Outfitting a place like New York City would be very different than outfitting rural areas. Many cities are still running on infrastructure that was built a long time ago. It should hopefully be more feasible outside of those areas.

That sounds sick though, $6 for a full tank.
