“Neighborhood power supplies are not set up to handle even half of the people having only electric vehicles.”

Yep. Equipping every home with an additional 220 volt feed and then hitting all of them at roughly the same time is going to add a hell of a lot of demand to the grid.

At night. When there’s no sun.

even if every home plugged in one or two on 110-120 volt lines, it would be too much.

those transformers need down time

plus they are not designed for all homes to be putting such a heavy constant load on them

which is why you fridge or a/c in all homes is ok, because they switch on and off, and only have surge demads on startup, then taper down

these chargers charge constantly high for multiple hours, no breaks or rampdowns
