“I will consider an EV when power plants are expanded to handle the capacity of millions of new electric cars.”
The good news is that isn’t really an issue. Our powerplants are built to provide enough power in July at 7pm. Every other hour of the day there is a lot of spare capacity.
If cars are set to charge overnight then every car in the country could go electric and be charged off our current infrastructure.
That includes expansion and the addition of hundreds of thousands of electric cars plugging into the grid like most governments are mandating? I think not.
It is just the opposite. We are reducing capacity by restricting the types of fuel that we can burn and by forcing intermittent sources such as wind and solar. Solar is useless if “cars are set to charge overnight.” The sun doesn’t shine at night.
We need nuclear. Unfortunately, nuclear, which is the only way to achieve the all electric cars mandate, is hated by everyone. It is a dead end.
Musk himself disagrees with your assessment
“Our powerplants are built to provide enough power in July at 7pm”
So brownouts and blackouts do not happen?? You might to check on that.
“If cars are set to charge overnight then every car in the country could go electric and be charged off our current infrastructure.”
They want to get rid of our current (fossil fuel) infrastructure. And the sun doesn’t shine at night.
