I work in the power industry. It always perplexes me that people think we can just put a tesla in every garage and it won’t have an impact on the power grid. It’s a bit like putting a Model T in every garage back in the day, but there are not many service stations.

It takes a lot of electricity to push a couple of tons down the road. And that electricity has to be pumped into a battery. And it has to be generated by a nuclear power plant, or natural gas or coal fired plant, or hydroelectric. And a fraction may also come from Solar or wind.

But I don’t think the grid can handle much more than the “rich man’s toy” level of electric car use.
