RE: The growth in EV demand is outpacing the infrastructure needed to charge them
Makes me wonder — is this “growth” (note the quotes) MARKET DRIVEN? (i.e., Americans REALLY, REALLY desire to buy EV’s over traditional vehicles ), Or is it a result of government mandates, laws and regulations?
If there is money to be made, it will happen. No need to worry about it.
You watch...they’re going to require them in every new home and for everyone that buys an EV. AND...it’s goona be a special charge.
Is there a EV being produced today that has solar panels on it’s roof to help it get along without the need to charge?
Charging stations must be connected to sources that can reliably supply the power.
Where will these million more charging stations get their power?
Just asking for a friend.
Sorry but the laws of physics still apply. These EVs simply can never replace vehicles with internal combustine engines in durability, range, performance and convenience. Beyond the niche Tesla market, GM, Ford, VW and even the Chinese are learning that consumers simply don’t want these cumbersome contraptions despite the propaganda.
The article ignores the need to build lots of new electrical distribution lines plus step-down transformers. That is going to be a huge bottleneck.
The demand for more EV charging stations will be tremendously diminished, when people realize that, EVs are not going to replace their trusty ICE vehicles.
And, the demand will be pulled back when democrats are no longer in control of the White House and congress. Insanity exists only when the insane are in charge.
If they had them ALL on line right now, there isn’t enough power generation capability to run them......................
Good luck keeping the copper wire chargers to the car. Copper is worth money.

Why are EV’s even allowed to use dirty fossil fuel created electricity to charge their “green” vehicles? Since they don’t but motor fuel, they aren’t paying any taxes to keep the roads up. All Charging stations, including those in homes, that don’t use 100% renewable Green Energy free of Fossil Fuels, should PAY A TAX of at least $100 per KWH to keep the roads up.
Cui bono?
Why aren’t private sector companies jumping to meet demand and make a profit? A: They are waiting for taxpayer funded welfare that socializes all risk.
What we really need is decent leadership to replace the current circus in the White House and Congress.
Some people with properly functioning brains would be nice.
Then they have to figure out where the electric is going to come from...without using fossil fuels....lol...no way!!
the ev is a dodge
a ruse
evs will not replace gas cars
the point of this exercise
is to ban gas cars, ie ban private transportation
most will not be able to afford an ev
so it will be shut up and get on the bus
many will not be able to afford the green energy to charge the ev
and even if you can afford an ev and the green energy
it may not be available
the real goal is to destroy private transportation(your freedom)
I should start a Video channel for people misbehaving at what few charging stations there are while people with gas engines drive right on buy giving them the finger. A new cottage industry.
There you go. Civil disobedience, everyone should shout obscenities and honk their horn at people sitting at charging stations killing time.
