The exact same amount of electric use is just split into more charging stations. I fail to see how that would lower the demand to avert the rolling blackouts various locales are already defaulting to. Now increase consumer usage of EV and that demand only increases. </p><p><br /></p><p>My point is this. The powers that be are pushing hard for the transition to EV before they&#039;re upgrading the infrastructure to handle the increased load. I&#039;m not saying anywhere in my posts that EV&#039;s will not ever be a solution. I&#039;m saying they&#039;re not promoting this transition logically. It&#039;s like they&#039;re saying let&#039;s build ICE vehicles and then we&#039;ll figure out how to drill for oil, refine the oil into usable gasoline, deliver the gas around the country, build fueling stations, and finally deliver the gas to the consumer. They&#039;re putting the proverbial cart before the horse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The old adage, plan the work and work the plan, is not being done. At least it&#039;s not being done efficiently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
