    Part of what I'm saying is basically because of the duck curve. During the day when the sun is out we have power but that's now and during day light.
    Most will charge thrir car at night.
    But now if we force everyone to drive an EV car we will need power in large ampasity at hundreds of locations to support the need.
    It takes alot of watts to quick charge.
    If we all go home and plug in 2 cars the power companies will love you but your pocket will not. That duck curve will grow to an even worse state then it is now.
    Rolling black outs will be back and worse then before.

    Not arguing or making "you" statements. all points I agree with. Innovation in electricity distribution and storage is happening though. :laser:

    Currently we only produce 9.9% of CAs power from solar. So solar dosnt really help a ton.

    I just find it funny that you can't even bring up an electric car without it immediately turning to infrastructure, resources, and materials. Completely ignoring the car itself. It's not like anytime we talk about other cars it becomes a discussion about the infrastructure and things that supports it.

    Wasn't making anything personal, just asking questions.

    Many people think don't actually think about where electricity comes from, how it gets to them, or what is involved in storing it.

    Just because fossil fuel is considered "older" technology, doesn't mean it's not actually better.
