A Tad high, is what this guy calls a $40,000 car. It’s still a EV and has to be charged . When is the expansion of the Grid going to start to support all this new Electricity demand?

And where is the energy needed to build these cars going to come from?

Current EV sales are ~2% of US sales.

For most of the USA, daytime peak loads are TWICE the nighttime loads.
Excess nighttime capacity, and all but peak days; plenty to go around.

Not to worry.
