Yes lots of generation would be needed, read post 223.
According to media reports, the California Independent System Operator told EV owners to “avoid charging electric cars” between 4 pm to 9 pm. The request to not charge vehicles during these times is part of the state’s effort to keep the power grid up and running.

There's no reason to mimic gas stations. It's a different product. Also portable charging packs... fits under the trunk and charges the car while you drive.
These aren't 'electric cars' they're battery operated cars.
Charging stations at grocery stores... at parking lots and garages...

The point is that new power plants would have to be built. Lots of them.
Most people don’t drive 300 miles every day! Much less 900 miles a day.
From this link:

Another quote from the same article:
How many miles does the transportation industry transports good in a year?
In 2006 the transportation industry logged 432.9 billion miles. Class 8 trucks accounted for 139.3 billion of those miles, up from 130.5 billion in 2005
Sixteen years later I would expect the milage to be 50% higher.
So maybe most people do not drive 300 miles per day, but there still are a hell of a lot who do.
If you ever piloted a tail dragger you might think differently.
I don’t disagree with your common sense final conclusion, but I do know a lot of people that will burn that much gasoline. If they get 20 MPG, 20 x 17,544 = 359,880 miles.
Before I retired, that would be about 5 years.
And my job was not driving, The driving part was required to get me to where I needed to be.
There are literally hundreds of thousands who drive that much, and they are not truck drivers.
But I never would have been able to do it in a Tesla.
A tail dragger...is that the name for a 3-wheeler with two wheels in front?
Well since 220v service is what the power company puts into a residential home then what are the choices?
No.
Older design aircraft with a tail wheel rather than tricycle landing gear.
The CG had to e well behind the mains to keep them from nosing over. CG behind the mains means you had better be very careful.
Don’t forget......... Help is needed

What model Tesla do YOU drive?
You did not note the primary force. You are hung up on the present
The market will produce home charging capabilities and companies specializing in the installation. I suspect that the Tesla engineering guys have all the designs on their computers awaiting the right time to bring them forth.
There are other engineers who can do the same and the problem of charging will be eliminated for EV owners with homes. The problem will dissaoate as the market takes control of the charging problem
The Tesla already has scheduled charging—no need for a timer.
I'm not going to be flying any airplanes, either :)
That’s a lot of windshield time!
I have been retired for 20 years and still drive about half as many miles.
My point is that what has made this country a great place to live and work is that we have been allowed to live as we chose, so long as we do not commit violent acts against others.
This EV thing, the wu-flu panic, the attempts to restrict or ignore the Bill of Rights, the push for digital money, green energy....all are a threat to freedom.
Sweet lookin Bikes Pal!
Thanks
That’s your non-binary choice.
