  It was definitely a talking point for a bit. It was looked into and proven incorrect. It was most likely always a lie to further discourage people on the fence from giving up gas cars. I’m sure it had an impact on some people out there so it probably worked.

    The models literally assumed everyone charged their car at exactly the same time. It was all anti EV bullshit from the start.

    Even when it was easily proven incorrect it remained a common talking point from people opposed to EVs. Much of that opposition was for ideological/financial reasons, so facts didn’t really matter.

    I wonder whether production of gasoline (per car) takes more power than charging a car

    I’m not so sure it had any meaningful impact or that it was ever even a significant talking point.

      My dad STILL brings it up when EVs are mentioned. It was definitely a talking point in those circles.

        Oh well if your dad allegedly brings it up, then case closed!
