The result of that would be significantly more strain on the grid, and even more increases in power prices. Yay.
I love EV’s and my next car will be one, but we need to get our power grid shitshow sorted before any significant percentage of people get EVs or we’ll be up a creek without a paddle.
Solar and batteries will take up a lot of the strain and provide the population and nation more independence and sovereignty over their energy usage and consumption;
Except for the major percentage of the population who can’t have rooftop solar, don’t have space for a battery and can’t afford a new car, but also don’t have access to public transport infrastructure.
