  I’ve never heard that the power grid couldn’t handle electric cars

    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.

  No, see, it’s because we have so many electric vehicles that the grid has extra capacity for data centers! It’s just math, duh.

  I can keep my EV charged up most of the time with a 120v outlet. Sometimes if I need a full charge I will hook it up to the 240v 20a outlet and it will top it up.
