And, with slow charging, the typical secondary distribution transformer in your neighborhood can handle four EVs. The transformer serves 10-12 houses. To serve more homes, you need larger transformers. But then you have wire capacity limits from the substation to the transformer.

The dirty secret is that the current power system cannot support the wholesale changeover to EVs. It was designed for the days when you had lightbulbs, a vacuum cleaner, a toaster, a dishwasher and a clothes washer.
