I find it difficult to believe that we are once again being drawn into the argument that the grid cannot support the demand for EV's. Society has been in this situation several times since the early 1900's. With each new electrical product's popularity (televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, hot tubs, washers and dryers, motorhomes, Mcmansions, housing developments, fast food restaurants, factories, etc), the same fearful cry was heard. Development of "the grid" has been ahead of demand in the majority of markets, as they are a business that wants to sell as much of their products as possible. Even when the demand levels off, utilities are continuously upgrading the equipment with more efficient devices to maximize output utilizing the same foot print ( fenced in facilities, usually). Most vehicles use around the same amount of electricity per charge as running a dryer for a couple of cycles (how many people think twice about doing that?). Just my 2 watts worth, Tom True
