True, but neither does maintaining the grid

  Marginally and variable costs it does though. A 100% capacity charging station has few variable costs compared to gasoline delivery; the grid interconnect and charging cables are equivalent to filler and tank safety inspection, not daily or weekly deliveries of fuel by pipeline + truck.

  But we’re already maintaining the grid. Growing it to handle the new workload would require a fraction greater maintenance workload which would be tiny in comparison to maintaining the entire parallel infrastructure needed to get oil from a Saudi Arabia desert to a car filling up at a gas station in the middle of Wichita.
