Do people not realize how much extra capacity is already in the system? Let's take a look at Ontario: https://www.ieso.ca/power-data https://www.ieso.ca/power-data Without doing actual calculus, let's eye ball: how many kilometers of range is there if you ran the system at peak? Peak demand is 22GW, baseline is 14, sum the differences for each hour. That's how much power we could be supplying, but is not being used up. In Ontario, that's about 100GWh per day. Model 3 uses up 75KWh for 500km, That's 1.3 million fully charged sedans for a population of 14 million, or 50km per inhabitant per day. Yes, this is an unrealistic scenario (where capacity is perfectly used up), but 50km per day per inhabitant is also insane and unrealistic. So, the way we'll make the transition to EVs is that people will do their jobs, they'll upgrade lines, they'll make batteries, they'll make cars, consumers will buy new cars. It'll be fine, don't midwit this.
