I would like to know how many people are interacting with the utility company before adding these loads.

How many need to upgrade their home service?

Do the utility companies need to upgrade their transformers and service wires/cables?

Side note - If you know any young men, have them get an AA in electronics tech or and electrical based 2 year degree.
Get certified in CAD as well. The amount of work in the electrical distribution world is staggering.

“using AC charging and capable of supporting up to 19.2 kWh”

You’d think the media could hire just ONE PERSON capable of understanding the difference between kWh and kW. That’s all it take, ONE PERSON!

My home and 4 of my neighbors homes use the same transformer.

If one of them buys a EV, then they will blow the fuse or have to pay for a separate transformer.............

You are really on to something here, IMHO. I remember when I was in Alaska how everyone would have two outdoor plug-ins. One for the freeze plug and one for the battery blanket on their vehicle. It never fails, some clown always had to throw an interior car heater into the mix. Terror was waking up in the morning and seeing all the little indicator lights were off on people’s connections because some clown knocked off the breaker with their interior heater.
