A little known or understood point about EV’s. The electrical grid in much of America is NOT equipped to handle the surge in demand if more households are charging EV’s. Just like old houses are not really set up for all the “modern” appliances we now operate the same is true for the electrical grid.

There is simply not enough grid capacity in many areas just as many houses will not be up to the tasks either without expensive upgrades.

It will be a boom for electricians!

I recently had an estimate for my moms’ 1958, 3 bed house for a full 100 amp panel upgrade with GFI and grounded 3 prong outlets.

$50,000 😵
