>Dealing with short term load spikes with existing infrastructure is a different problem that isn't really relevant in this context. EVs sold today are going to be charged on the grid we have today. if that makes their carbon footprint barely better than gas and slightly worse than a hybrid it means our subsidies would be better used to increase carbon free electricity generation and increase hybrid sales. Once EVs have smaller carbon footprints then it will make sense to subsidize them. If you don't care about the short term then yes. The long term solution is full carbon free electricity and EVs
