I did the calculations for a local gas station pumping 200,000 gallons of gas and 700,000 gallons of diesel fuel per month. It would take a dedicated 30-40 MWs to replace that fossil fuel with electricity. And that’s one single station.

There’s no way our current grid can takes the peaks of lots of electric vehicles charging without MAJOR upgrades.

They left simply does not want to face reality, wind and solar will not be able to supply all the power they think it will.

You would think that all the braniacs out there creating things that need infrastructure would be thinking about that.

Musk is to obsessed with escaping to Mars to worry about charging stations for ‘your’ electric car here.
