Electrifying the transportation sector is generally seen as a 15-25% increase in grid demand. These are vehicles which most can schedule their charging to take advantage of low electricity prices and therefore low demand. The uprating needed is quite insignificant. | |||||||||||||||||

> Electrifying the transportation sector is generally seen as a 15-25% increase in grid demand. Quote on that? A developed country like the US has problems even now, see California (with the yearly fires there) or Texas. And how do you solve the "last-mile" connections without regularly starting fires everywhere? (on account of all those higher-voltage thingies being closer to residential units). | |||||||||||||||||
