    The electric grid will be ready when it needs to be ready. Power companies aren’t going to just leave EVs on the table, even if they have to beg for money to upgrade.

    There’s a post around here somewhere about a Chinese (BYD) EV for $15,000. I didn’t look at it, but that’s going to be entry level with few bells/whistles. Still, that’s cheaper than any US ICE vehicle I know of.

      Indeed. If the grid could not expand and would be overloaded, it works also be impossible to add more houses, offices or businesses. But it’s no problem building those and connecting them to the grid, but EV would blow every fuse.
