Jeep went “woke,” abandoning quality control in favor of virtue signaling, and now its vehicles are spontaneously catching fire – even when they’re not running​

Most studies say the grid can handle EVs, since the great majority of the charging will be at night when there is extra capacity for it. But it will be years before enough EVs are in service for us to find out.

There is another grid concern from climate change, and that is how the grid will handle summertime heat waves, particularly extended periods above 90 degrees, and above 100. It is predicted that large regions of the U.S. will see significantly more days like this by mid-century, and there will be increased demand on the grid by air conditioners during these periods.

Do you have any idea at all about how the grid works or about how electricity actually works or do you just parrot what the leftist media puts out? I am a Master electrician with 42 years in the trade and in no way can the grid support just 25% of the cars on the road.

Now don't make him cry! He identify as a smart person!

Doesn't anyone think they will upgrade the power grid to support EV's?

We’ve beaten this dead horse before, but we can do it again. We hear people saying the grid has enough excess capacity already, and the naysayers telling us it does not. I guess we will find out soon enough.

One thing we know, as battery technology continues to improve, charging will need to occur less and less often. If your EV gets 400-500 or more miles, the average person driving to work each day might go a couple of weeks or more between charges, if not longer. So it’s not like everyone is charging all the time. Also, we know most people will (do already) charge at home, at night when demand on the grid is lowest. Some EVs are experimenting with solar panels in roof, dash, etc, to increase range between charges. Other technological advances will come.

And certainly over time the grid will be upgraded. More transmission lines, more wind, solar, hydro, etc., less reliance on fossil fuels, making EVs even more “clean”. The will can find a way.

An EV-explosion is coming. They will be the nicest automobiles we have ever driven, and over time their zero tailpipe emissions will help our environment. They aren’t the end all be all solution to the climate issue, but they are a significant step in the right direction.
