Your math sucks.I really don't understand why you EV proponents don't do just a little math.
Your link says that drivers put on a total of 2.9 trillion miles. At 0.3 kWh per mile, that’s roughly 1 trillion kWh needed. Your estimate of electricity needed for electric vehicles is off dramatically.
Second, you don’t need to produce more power plants because we have a greater capacity for power generation than actual power generated. We build enough power plants to supply peak electricity demand. Electricity demand at night (when people charge their cares) is half to a quarter as much power needed at peak times in the evening.
We can produce upwards of 10 trillion kWh but only consume 4-5 trillion kWh because of this.
