1200-1500 watts for 8 hours. Now all houses current loads plus that all night from all houses with two cars because everyone has their own car, those neighborhood transformers never get to cool down overnight.

Thanks for helping support my point.

Charging occurs mostly when home power load is minimum. Electricity is actually cheapest then because suppliers _want_ people to consume power off-peak.

Not all houses current loads. Charging is done while people are sleeping ... Reduced AC, no lights, no stove, no hot water heater, no TVs.

In fact demand is so low, our power company gives it away during that time.
