I may not have done a very good job of explaining my point. My point is that there's more at play here than just the availability of electricity. >The point wasn't that the EV charging infrastructure exists TODAY to support this, it was that it would be trivial to do within the timeframe required Except it's not just the electricity availability that causes the issue I was pointing to. It's the energy delivery as a function of time. The range upgrade in pumping fossil fuels is currently just much more efficient. One can get 300-500 extra miles of range in less than 5 minutes. Even if electricity is available, it doesn't mean somebody can double their range in a few minutes (which is why I pointing out the planning counterpoint). I'm optimistic the technology will get there, but let's not trivialize the solution as a way of negating one option. >The lead time in question is fourteen years! Is this speaking about building a road? I don't quite follow how the comparison of building roads matters to this...presumably both electric and fossil fuel cars would use the same road infrastructure. Is your point that long road construction lead times means...what? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't understand the connection drawn here. Is the point, "Electrical infrastructure is easy because roads are hard and we already do roads"?? >all that's needed is building the right kind of outlets >Stringing a cable is 2+ orders of magnitude cheaper This is what I mean by trivializing the solution. Electrical infrastructure is much more than just 'stringing up cable'. The transformers I mentioned are much more of a bottleneck both from a manufacturing and resiliency perspective. There are some critical ones within the Unites States that would take 18 months or more to be manufactured overseas before even considering how to deliver them when there isn't the normal infrastructure to do so. The idea that we just need to "string up some cable" appears a bit naïve to me and perhaps spoken from a place of lack of domain knowledge.
