So, the question I always have, is, can the grid even support this... surprisingly the answer is yes, but just barely: "The record high level of finished motor gasoline consumption was about 392 million gallons per day in 2018."[1] "Petroleum liquids–12.69 kWh/gallon"[2] So, that's 12.96 * 392 Million kWh/day --> 5.08 Billion kWh/day Smoothed out to the same rate every hour --> 211 Million kW "At the end of 2021, the United States had 1,143,757 MW—or about 1.14 billion kW—of total utility-scale electricity generating capacity"[3] So, in theory, we could run everything, and charge the cars when the demand was lower, at night. --- [1] https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=23&t=10#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20about%20134.55%20billion,8.78%20million%20barrels%20per%20day https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=23&t=10#:~:text=In...).
