EVs are not taxing the grid. Most of them are charging during non peak hours anyways. (overnight) Charging a Tesla in general takes about the same kind of power as running an A/C unit. |
Please. EVs are taxing the grid as compared to a vehicle with an ICE that puts zero load. There is no escaping this reality.
Plus there isn't any law or requirement that people charge during the evening hours. I'm sure there is plenty of EVs charging during peak load times.
