The average American home consumes 29kwh per day. It takes 62kwh to charge a base Tesla Model 3 once. Of course, not everyone will be charging from complete empty every night, but if every household is charging one car from 50% to 100% each night, the amount of daily electricity demand per household doubles. And most households own more than one car!
