Thanks for the links. I should have included AI in my Doomsday scenario. AI is very power hungry. Of course AI server farms will not be spread out the way electric charging stations are but will be more concentrated but I do know tech CEO's are already looking at Canada to supply the expected electricity demand. That suggests to me there isn't enough capacity in the USA to meet that forecasted demand.

Where I'm at, the number of charging stations at the grocery store is already inadequate. They are always full. I see people with electric cars wanting to "get a spot" with a charger and there isn't any. This is what I mean about the lack of planning. The govt assumes that the market will meet demand but I just think mandating all cars be electric and relying on the market to meet that sudden demand is naïve.
