Prepare for more "Black Outs" !
"The Grid" can't handle its own currently established customers during high usage,
and now we are talking about adding additional demand to the grid.

Exactly. It’s not just a tiny increase in demand on the power grid. Each of these chargers uses massive amounts of power, like running an electric dryer or stove, Which is actually on the lower end of some of today’s chargers, for hours on end while these cars charge. In reality, these won’t be sporadic uses, but huge demands every night around 6 o’clock or so when everyone gets home and plugged in their cars. I seriously have my doubts the grid can handle that load without interruption.
