I don’t think it’s a total disaster for cars to be electric, but how about the government dump USD 100,000 on everyone to handle inflation so that they can just go buy the EV?

The math does not match the statement of no drain on grid

that was also my thought. I don’t actually know the cause of the brown-out\black-out situation in California, but adding EVs en masse to that geography is going to crush the grid, unless new power generation facilities are brought online FIRST. And now that I am thinking about it, its not really necessarily about generation, but about storage. If the generators are going 100% one hundred percent of the time, then they need battery\capacitor banks to store the energy so that it can be used during peak cycles. There will always be peaks and valleys to utilization as long as humans are diurnal, so plan for the valleys in utilization by having battery arrays to capture. What do i know. Maybe they already do this.

Journalists all failed math. It is one reason they are journalists.

Don’t forget that in addition to the $56,000 EV, you need to install EV charging station in your garage for thousand$ more and thousand$ more for garage and electrical modifications. This all is not possible if you go broke filling up current gas/diesel vehicle.

Yep- my husband was driving through Ga and man called into a radio talk show. He worked for the local power company and said that if we charged all electric cars at one time, only 18% could be charged or we would be looking at brownouts.

I would believe this guy over some propaganda liberals hellbent on destroying America

One thing is certain; if the grid won’t support electric cars, they wouldn’t tell us. We live in the age mega-propaganda.

If you keep the EV plugged in while you drive you are producing back to the grid. Right libtards?
