I'll apologize quickly to you Tim. The breathalyzer lock on my p.c. was disabled. I get frustrated hearing that the grid can't handle EV's.I’ve done plenty of Tesla chargers. Not many people want to plug into a 120v charger. They want a level 2 which consumes 40-80a. FYI 20a garage plug circuits have only been code for a few years. Also, here in Nevada the power company is asking people not to charge their cars during the heat wave. California is currently having brownouts due to demand on the grid.
Average American drives 40 miles a day. That's 12.8 kwh on the Chevy Volt.
It is predicted that by 2050, when 95% of new vehicle sales are EV, the added load to the grid will be 4%.
My apologies again.
