If electric vehicles sweep the Country,,,,,,blackouts and brownouts will be sweeping the Country at the same time for years to come.
At least Ontario is thinking about this. While the national Canadian govt. is in the hands of Turdough Ontario at least has a RINO equivalent govt. so some rational thought drips down occasionally.
New, large-scale nuclear plants being explored in Ontario to meet energy demands

They can have my V8 when the pry it from my cold dead fingers.
It’s not about the environment. It was NEVER about the environment. The forced march to EVs is all about controlling the ability of the proles to move. The Ford Model T liberated the lower classes and made it possible for them to escape their masters and move somewhere else. The short range of EVs and their complete dependency on the government-managed power grid isn’t a flaw, it’s a FEATURE.
Got to make the serfs stay where they are, so that they can be properly managed. It’s for their own good.
I live near Tallahassee. The government bought the very first electric bus. It hardly ever left the garage. The city bragged it had put in X number of car charging stations. When I visited my auto parts dealer on the far outskirts of Tallahassee, I noticed three charging stations. There are few work possibilities that far out and the people who have electric cars work in the heart of the city. But to take up parking spots in the high parking demand section for electric car charging stations would have been politically dangerous. So here they are on the outskirts of the city. I went into the parts house and asked them if they’d ever seen anyone using the chargers. They said no. Not once. If a private company had built the stations for profit they’d have been located where they demand is. But these were built by the city and placed for political expediency rather than profit.
Yes... especially Chinese EVs
You win the internet for today
Lack of a garage stinks in the Sunbelt because your car gets very, very hot. Which costs plenty of battery power to cool with an EV, reducing range.

The limitations of electric vehicles will cost those who embrace them dearly.
EVs are perfect if it’s your third or fourth car in your ten car garage
I fear a wave of mass adoption, followed by a wave of mass dissatisfaction - followed by government edicts stating Hope and Change has come and ICE vehicles will now be strictly limited and largely unavailable to non-governmental entities and individuals.
We had charging stations here in Tennessee 10 years ago. They took them out because no one used them and they were taking up good parking spaces.
All of the electrical power consumed in California, all of it, would only apprise 63% of the power needed to charge electric vehicles if all the miles driven in California were electric.
“They are not ready yet for extensive driving and longer trips.”

Shhhhhh... I think that’s the plan .
Hoodrats will probably vandalize them, anyway.
This article is an example of the arguing with idiots over stupid things things that rational people do more and more every day. This is because the idiots and stupids are in control and acting and winning. This has to stop. At some point adults have to step up. Period.
I don’t know why the powers that be expect us to believe in their EV predictions when the promised chocolate ration increases have yet to materialize.
I am troubled by the definition of “smart” as applied to the people who have made up their minds that the future of automobiles belongs to electric vehicles. It shall not be, for as long as the stored power is in the form of batteries.
At best, a battery-powered electric vehicle is a niche product, good only for short hops, as running errands, and only while the weather is relatively warm. For long-range travel, there simply is not enough infrastructure to keep them charged on a longer trip, and the time factor figures in here as well.
Now, if the technology to produce and distribute hydrogen fuel cells can be instituted, then the electric vehicle has a MUCH greater chance of widespread adoption.
All they have to do is jack up the taxes on Gasoline and owning ICE vehicles, to make ICE car ownership prohibitively expensive.
All of the "smart" people aren't actually very smart. "COVID" showed us that.
