It is a real and very common problem that gets no press because a lot of people work very hard to ensure that the line temps do not reach critical. That said, it only becomes a real problem during times of high demand like heat waves and cold snaps. Our infrastructure is absolute dog shit at the moment, and I think the fear is that if every home had one or two EVs charging overnight, then every night would be a high demand event.
We need to bring our infrastructure up to adequate.
Is overheating an actual problem or a hypothetical? The reason I ask is

Glad to know about the work being done. I suppose this is one of those situations which you don’t hear about until failure occurs.
