Will a mass transition to electric vehicles (EVs) cause the electric power grid to collapse? Some argue that EVs will make the grid unstable, which could mean hefty investments to upgrade existing infrastructures in order to withstand the electricity uptake

Home INS companies will send rates through the roof if you charge a EV inside a home.

--- "No, Electric Vehicles won't impact the grid or overload it, debunking anti -electric vehicle myths."

This is a sales pitch, plain and simple. The website is for a company which places electric charging stations around some areas of Europe.

The site, virta.global was registered in 2016, and is in Paris, France. Among its article titles: "PUBLIC ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING STATIONS POWERED BY VIRTA ALL AROUND EUROPE/"

An assertion made on one page references Eurostat information, but that page on Eurostat does not exist.

Notice the same word play as "anti-electric vehicle" is found in "anti-vaxx" and other denialist pejoratives, as if there are but two positions, thereby closing down discussion. But the irony of this is the same architecture and rhetoric is found in all the "green" politics.

As Virta says, "Stay tuned as we debunk more EV charging myths."

Debunking by citing web pages that do not exist is marketing, plain and simple. And foolish, as part of the debunking suggests that your electric vehicle's battery will be elecrtric storage. For what purpose other than driving your car? Oh, storage. You can drain your EV to power your house. Or something.

"Demagoguery and logical fallacies are among the most easy elements to find nowadays." Indeed, and the Virta article does both albeit with a gentle hand. Demagoguery against petroleum and the logical fallacy the one form of energy is good and another bad.

This is a real problem and this author does not understand that.

BTW...

EVs Explained: Battery Capacity, Gross Versus Net Automakers quote their EV battery capacities in kilowatt-hours, but be careful when comparing across makers: not all capacities are the same.

Go figure.

Everything will be rising because the majority of freight is still diesel fuel or jet fuel, everything will rise in price, and unless there is a good tax increase to back it up, Subsidies will help worsen the already existing inflation

The power grid in Central Pennsylvania is poorly handled and rotting out of date equipment, we have nowhere near as many people given the sparse population, and aren’t as newsworthy as a result.

GoDaddy just switched their email servers over to a MicroSoft Office 365-based system. When one goes thru the ordeal of the setting up their devices to work with the changeover, they will find in reading Microsoft’s terms of acceptance, that they maintain the right to remotely sort thru, delete, shutdown, anything that they see fit and/or disagree with (even though one is paying for the email service). It’s total control of the flow of any information with no privacy whatsoever.
We have about a year left to go before the GoDaddy renewal comes back due. We’re not renewing with them. There’s gotta be a better/privacy-oriented email service out there somewhere.

So this article is posted on a web site called Virta. Who is Virta?

“Today Virta is the fastest-growing electric vehicle charging platform in Europe and is operating in over 30 countries. We help over 500 partners around the world build future-proof EV charging businesses.”

Nope no bias here, none at all.

When Elon Musk is saying we need to embrace nuclear, we’re really screwed for it going that far that a businessman has to say that just for the sake of helping his business PR and making sure that his customers can afford his product.

There’s around four charging posts that I can see at the mall. These are fine, but at the same time, you would need more of these charging posts along with all the underground wiring work if say more than a dozen were EVs

And what is the source of the electricity needed to charge the batteries ?

Speaking of batteries, where are the dead batteries going to be discarded ?

When Biden and his Chines communist friends turn their worms in the grid loose EV owners will be singing the blues.

I don’t hear anyone talking about the obvious. If we want to decrease our carbon footprint, especially in large cities, we need to make public transportation safe again.

"how about the government dump USD 100,000 on everyone to handle inflation"

That's so hilarious that I'll have to assume you're joking. Printing and then giving away money CREATES inflation.
