EVs can go to 12kw but don’t need to. At that rate a Tesla will add over 40 range-miles per hour, which means you’d recharge the entire battery range in about eight hours. Some people do drive 300 miles per day, but on average people drive less than 30 miles (in the US) and maybe 40km/day in Europe. When you work this out into a continuous power draw over the course of a day, it’s a few hundred watts per vehicle. Still requires grid upgrades and some planning to avoid spikes where everyone fast-charges at once, but it’s better to consider these smaller averages than assume everyone is doing 12kw charging continuously.
