Where is all the power coming from to charge millions of EVs? We already have brown outs when everyone turns on their AC. Now imagine it's 6 PM and every vehicle on the street is at home and plugged in. Those plug ins are 220 volts and heavy amperage. The infrastructure changes to deliver enough juice for millions of EVs will be incredible. What is the fuel going to be at the generating stations ; gas, oil, coal, or nuclear? Those sources are all heavily criticized by environmental scientists. Solar and wind generation is nowhere close to being able to generate the power that will be needed. A large part of the answer to meeting our power needs will be on the other side of the equation, reduced need by changing our culture . Rving will be no more, houses will be considerably colder in winter and warmer in summer, and long commutes to work will be unaffordable. Shipping stuff all over the world will be too expensive to make sense. IMHO anyway.
