I've posted this several times BUT no one especially the MSM seems to understand... we will have blackouts daily with just 50% cars/trucks being EVs!

Simply put and all substantiated by links is this:

If 50% of American cars/trucks are EVs, there will be a shortage of nearly 7.25 TRILLION kWh a year of electricity.
Simple numbers.
Today the USA 11,070 electric generating plants generate 4.165 TRILLION kWh a year.
The average EV car uses 0.25 kWh to travel 1 mile Average Electric Car kWh Per Mile [Results From 231 EVs]
The average EV truck uses 4.3 kWh to travel one mile. Battery capacity and recharging needs for electric buses in city transit service (Journal Article) | OSTI.GOV

Average EV Truck
So the average Truck travels 84,433 miles in a year or using about 20,000 kWh per EV truck

How Many Miles Do Truckers Drive a Year?

In our free load board’s latest blog post, we discuss how many miles the average trucker does in a year. Learn more here.

In 2018 there were roughly 11,000,000 commercial trucks on the roads.
So if 50% are EVs or 5,500,000 they will being using in one year 107,995,697,674 kWh.


Average EV Car
With 228,200,000 American drivers, averaging 14,263 miles or at 1,627,408,300,000 miles at 0.25/kWh equals 6,509,633,200,000 kWh.
Between Car/trucks EVs will use 6,617,628,897,674 kWh or nearly 1.58 TIMES MORE than is generated today!

In other words... Current electricity being generate is 6.617 Trillion kWh.. But 50% of EVs cars/trucks will NEED 6.509 TRILLION kWh.

It takes 10 years to build a nuclear power plant that will generate the average of 14.482 Billion kWh... or this means 456 NEW nuclear plants.
The most recent nuclear power plant is estimated to cost about $7 billion INFOGRAPHIC: How Much Power Does A Nuclear Reactor Produce? or for 456 new plants cost: $3.198 TRILLION.

And who will be paying for this? We Americans will directly with their home electricity bills AND indirectly with their goods/services providers.
So why can't we understand WE will have a massive black outs with 50% of our cars/trucks being EVs.

Of course. We are still using too much fossil fuel plants.

Since some people here still don't understand that you have all the EV chargers BUT if you can't get the electricity to the chargers why that's like this: putting the cart before the horse! With Biden guaranteeing to
"I want you to look into my eyes, I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” September 06, 2019, 5:49 PM


BEFORE we have the 500 additional nuclear power plants to provide the additional: 7,253,819,246,512 kWh per year that if 50% of all cars/trucks are EVs. We may have all the chargers BUT we don't have all the power plants to generate the nearly double
the current electricity production of 4,165,030,000,000 kWh per year here in the USA.

Don’t be foolish. We WILL get rid if fossil fuels to produce electricity. Of course we’ll be using it for quite a while for long haul, aviation etc.
