Yea our grid actually cannot yet handle having every vehicle be an EV. But it also cannot handle data centers either. There’s a great video on this for anybody interested that also has some commentary on the effect on green house gasses, backed by nothing but statistical information. I’m not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic. If we want more electric vehicles on the road, we need to keep building renewable sources of electricity everywhere we can. Most EVs consume far more power than a household does every year! We already built all the infrastructure for ICE cars decades ago, it’s only logical some infrastructure needs to be built to support EVs! It’s not a bad thing, it’s just the way forward.
