“Sure but that is only true now - the study extrapolated to the point of the majority of cars being electric and all of them charging during the same wee hours...it was an extremely detailed study done by a team of highly talented engineers. This was one of their conclusions.”

Garbage in, garbage out. Only 3% of cars are EV’s.

I found a study that madeled charging and grid capacity to 2028.

With unmanaged charging during peak afternoon hours the grid will support 28 million EV’s. 7.5% versus the 3% that are EV’s now.

More realistically, they conclude charging in the wee hours would support 68 million EV’s.

A typical Level 2 charger can draw 7.7 kw, much less than you A.C. or heating unit.

About what you use to cook dinner using burners and oven.

Many people doing nightly charges will opt for a slower rate since they only need a small charge and which is also better for battery life.
