Adam Varga + 123 AV January 24, 2018 High concentration of EVs can lead to equipment trouble. If everyone get their EVs charged at the same time, will we stay in the dark while searching for the switchbox to reset the blown fuse. Are we really ready for more EVs?

Selva + 252 SP January 24, 2018 The existing power infrastructure in most places is simply not up to the task of massive EV adoption. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 24, 2018 And they would probably have stupid excuse for this unpreparedness. This reminds me on winter service in my country. Every time when snow falls and we have a lot of snow every winter they say the snow caught them completely surprised. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 24, 2018 Well local power company in my country offers a box for turning off the water heater to help manage peak load. The infrastructure should already be in place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP January 24, 2018 I think this is where home battery packs are going to come in soon. The battery packs can charge off peak or slowly all the time and when you plug in your car you can pull from the grid and the battery to maintain quick charging without pounding the grid.

Addy + 14 AW January 24, 2018 the grid is already subpar, without EVs complicating things. Great idea, poor execution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missy + 43 MM January 24, 2018 the title to this thread sounds like a bad joke? "How Many EVs does it take to tax the electrical grid"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
