    Teslas, and I assume other EVs, can be set to home charge at off peak rate/use times.

    I'm guessing Texas grid failures, like Michigans, had more to do with poor management/upkeep than with the influx of EVs.

    EV's add to the load. Why do you think Cali told its inmates not to charge their EV's on at least several occasions this summer?

    I am certain my friends 3 is NOT doubling his electric bill. He definitely would NOT accept that. I don't think he can give direct percent increase due to his solar changes, however, the info is available, and electric costs/usage is quite easily calculated.
    Think of this....even if charging the EV from 20% to 80% is the same as the cost of a days electric use for a home, nobody is charging that much EVERY day.

    Depends upon their commute.

    My electric car runs on a single 12 volt battery and a fossil fuel engine. Just how they always will.
    Demshits can not and will not rule the country nor will they tell me what I can or I can not do.
