Electric vehicles are utterly stupid.
Until the power grid can handle its normal load plus the load of electric vehicles, it just won’t work.
California has rolling black/brown outs now, because tt can’t sustain any increase in energy load.

Tesla alone has sold over a million vehicles, with half a million being delivered in 2020 alone and another million slated for delivery in 2021.

California’s power grid issues are unique to California and their overegulated, mismanaged, catastrophically bad power infrastructure. A windy day can take out power for millions and burn down half the state. That’s self-inflicted. Most of the rest of the country isn’t infected with that level of pure idiocy. A million electric vehicles - which mostly charge at night when usage is low anyway - isn’t hurting a thing. If it is, then you’ve already got serious problems that have nothing to do with the cars.
