Every single family home in Texas has at least one A/C unit pulling 10-60 amps of power from May - August and the grid is mostly just fine due to the availability of peaker plants. I think grid problems for people charging at home is overstated.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoTexas famously has its own electrical grid (for better or worse) that is built with this concept at least somewhat in mind. But MN and WI and IL do not have a grid built to charge (maybe) 60 million automobiles. CA even more so. Even in Texas, the issue of getting sufficient amperage to residents of the state's larger cities is non-trivial, not necessarily because of supply but because of physical access.
