Thanks for this perspective. I’ve never considered thatHI54UNI wrote:My industry is going crazy to try and figure out how to deal with electric vehicles. If I buy one and put a fast charger in my garage the electrical distribution system is OK. What happens when 1 or 2 of my neighbors also do that? The utility may need to upsize the transformer that serves our homes. But how do we know when everybody is buying an EV so we can upsize the transformer before the problems start. Some utilities are starting to give rebates to people buying EVs simply so they know who has them. And as more EVs are sold how do you avoid demand and related price spikes at certain times of day as people get home from work and charge them? As semi trucks become electrified how do you handle the demand spikes from charging the huge battery packs in a semi? And what infrastructure will be needed to serve trucks? Imagine a truck stop serving multiple semis at the same time. Grid storage systems will help. Time of use pricing will help but I'm not sure much of the public is ready for it.
A lot of interesting dynamic behind the scenes of EVs.
