Its not BS my freaking neighbor hood transformers are near their limits without electric cars plugged in, use your head.
The reality is that these cars will number in the tens of thousands at most for a very long time to come.
Won’t have economic payback unless gasoline prices escalate dramatically.
Europe and Japan have fuel price much higher than US and don’t have significant electric car sales yet that I know of.
Wow ! I feel sorry for you. Your neighborhood has those pesky transformers that cannot be replaced with higher capacity models ?! That sucks.
If only you had an electric company that had some reason, like extra revenue from more electricity sold, to replace those transformers. If only there was something called “profit motive” or “free markets” that would allow a company to invest in new equipment when it sees an opportunity for additional revenues. /s
I am. I have over thirty years experience working with electricity.
