I'm suggesting that even if non-garage owners never own EVs there are still a lot of potential EV owners.
I'm curious what data you've seen about the fire risk. What I've seen suggests EVs are safer.
Grid capacity problems, when they occur, are related to maximum load, not average. EV charging load is among the least time sensitive loads there are. In fact, there are programs running now that allow EV owners to sell power back to the grid during periods of high demand.
It's my perspective that for some drivers, like myself, EVs are more practical than ICE, not less. This isn't true for everyone.
- talldatethrow 3y agoI have an EV, but even I think the stats are misrepresented. Gas cars catch fire pretty often. Yes. But usually they are older cars, and they often catch fire when running or soon after running hard. It is very rare to mildly drive through your neighborhood, park, and then a gas car catches fire. EVs are catching fire less than gas cars.... That are old and being driven hard. While being new. And parked. That is a decent difference.
