> these loads are in ADDITION.
If, every household drives 200 miles a day
If, those households fast charge at home instead of the commercial charging network that popular commercial entities have been installing (malls, gas stations, supercharger network)
If the lithium ion batteries are fast charging with no pausing.
If the modern electric car (or HVAC) doesn't pay attention to the rate plan that is based on grid capacity (they do)
Tldr; If everybody connected to the same substation gets home at precisely the same time from a 200+ mile road trip, while the day is at its hottest, preheats the oven, takes a shower, and manually turns down their dumb thermostat, and schedules their car to rapid charge to drive another 200 miles in a few hours, Then yes, the grid and individual house would have major problems. But this is obviously a straw man.
