Many houses still have this with up to 8000 liters diesel in basement. I have basement with weird height just for storing diesel tanks. Now they are gone, basement is useless. For electricity you need miles of thick copper cabling. And as a bonus grid needs to be managed to avoid blackouts and other issues.

- phicoh 5y agoIn 2050, you need to heat your house with something that is not fossil fuel. Realistically, that requires electrical connections to be upgraded anyhow. No problem adding a bit extra for EV. Assuming that cars are used on average 20000 km per year, then you can charge a Tesla 3 for 10 hour per night, 1 kW. Of course you would need to use a fast charger if you want to make long trip. In most places to day, there should be 1 kW at night.
