Has anyone figured out where we are going to get all this additional electricity generation and delivery to power all these electric vehicles?

—”anyone figured out where we are going to get all this additional electricity”

Easy Peasy.

For most areas of the USA average load is HALF of peak daytime load and the night time load is half of day the time load.

Smart chargers communicate with each other to minimize the peak load.
Mr. Amazon would have to pay extra if all of his EVs went to max charge at the same time! Can’t have that.

LED lighting cut USA total usage 5% in 2018.

My adult daughter returned to school to study ‘alternative energy’ and she forces me to help with her homework.
And with my three grandkids, she needs extra help... it’s fun.

A small car might get as much as 4 miles per kwh.

At a 1,000 miles a month, that is 250 kwh or about $25 worth of electricity.

If one wants to use solar power, the solar panels might be where the car normally is during most of the daytime, at the workplace.

I’m fairly confident that Joe Biden has not given your question much thought.

Silly you...from the outlet, of course.

Coal, for at least the next 30 years according to this Exxon Chemical Co. Engineer.

We have to burn coal to generate that electricity.

Don’t anyone tell that Swedish mongrel.
