And here are two of the reader comments to follow...(I did remove political finger pointing from both comments) Gotta love the comments :)

Jeff:
You people do realize that the majority of electric cars charge during off-peak hours? They don't burden the grid to any degree near what air conditioning does. Study after study after study confirms that the long-term use of EVs dramatically reduces the greenhouse gases that are killing all of us. Would you rather be alive? Or dead?

Human Lab Rat replied:
You do not realize that the off-peak hours is also when the sun does not shine. So, solar power is not producing. During those hours when the sun does not shine or cloudy rainy days, the electricity providers have to draw electricity from more non-renewable energy.

What do you mean EVs don't burden the grid as much as ACs do? The only reason is because less people have EV cars than ACs. Most home car charging systems are 240V just like ACs.

If you increase people's electricity consumption to be 5 to 10X more with the advent of mandates forcing people to buy EV cars, electric heaters, electric water heaters, electric landscape equipment, electric everything, on a strained power grid with energy shortages, it is a recipe for complete failure.
