[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does our country even have the ability to produce all the electricity required to power all these cars?[/quote]

Just did some math on this question because I’m curious and replacing 100% of current gasoline consumption in the US (135.7 billion gallons per year) would require around 1,700 Terawatts of additional electricity generation each year. Current utility scale electricity generation per year is around, 4,230 TW. So electricity generation needs to increase by 40% to electrify 100% of gasoline vehicles. [/quote]

There is spare capacity in the US grid. Smart people have looked in to it and there is no problem with supply of electricity. People like you think EVs draw power from the grid with a big extension cord and the cars are plugged in all the time..  :roll: [/quote]
You mean the US grid that communist china can flip off any minute?
No, thank you.
Only the DEMOCRAT Party of DEATH and DESTRUCTION wants that.[/quote]
