www.naturalawakenings.com/2022/11/30/417838/charging-electric-vehicles-at-night-poses-new-challenge"As electric vehicle (EV) owners learn how to install home chargers, find public charging stations and avoid range anxiety, the demand for power could burden the electric grid in western states at peak times by up to 25 percent if most charging is done at night, according to one Stanford University study. Unlike filling a car with gasoline, charging an electric car takes time. The fastest chargers on the market today can reach 80 percent in 20 to 30 minutes, but many are slower, taking between two and 22 hours to completion. Thus, around 80 percent of EV charging occurs overnight at home when the driver doesn’t need the car...." My notes: I'm not convinced with EVs. They are so expensive & not eco-friendly as the bigwigs claim. & with this, more strain on our power grid!

Doesn't sound efficient to me...putting even more strain on the power grid...that's not smart!

I bought Hub motor to make EV bike, but here few of the bikes got busted on the road and stopped in making EV vehicle. I am still seeing daily an increment in EV vehicles with new varieties.

While EVs are slightly better than ICEs, they are not the magic solution that many claim they are. Moving away from cars in general and focusing on other forms of transportation like mass transit and cycling will help the environment, but unfortunately, that will not happen because it would not be profitable for corporations.
