(Corrections requested) With convenience stores (7-11, etc.) trying to be gas stations, and gas stations trying to be convenience stores, whatever pump you pull up to, the business draws power and people. 24 hour stations are the normal here and are located just off a highway (101 or 280). Custom

I saw one graph which stated the energy usage for oil refining to gasoline. It's stated 23g of CO2 for each driven kilometer just for that part. With our mix on electricity there was 19g of CO2 per kilometer on EV. From this one could derive that producing gasoline solely is already consuming more

I assume that most EVs in the UK would be charged overnight at home. Doesn't the UK have the same situation as the USA with there being a large surplus of power at night, and shortages only happen during the daytime? Widespread EV use is generally found to *help* the grid, by leveling power usa

Overall, the electricity use will remain the same or rise a small amount. Many studies have shown this. 1) Compact fluorescent and LED bulbs as well as the move toward other more efficient household appliances will tend to counteract the added load of EVs on the grid. 2) EV's tend to charge
