Toyota CEO ( a very popular company around these parts now-a-days) Agrees With Elon Musk: We Don't Have Enough Electricity to Electrify All the Cars: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/bryan-preston/2020/12/21/toyota-ceo-agrees-with-elon-musk-we-dont-have-enough-electricity-to-electrify-all-the-cars-n1222999

 

That's the inconvenient truth that no one talks about. OR wanted to talk about. Infrastructure.

Some of the Tesla fans around the world are discounting him for saying that cause Toyota doesn't currently makes EVs. While also saying there IS enough electricity at night. 

 

I can understand if you are using hydro power then there is no excess capacity at night. If you are using coal and nuclear power then there IS excess capacity at night. Also fewer megawatts going into oil refineries unless you are just adding BEV to the automotive fleet with no reduction in ICE vehicles.

So long as these vehicles are charging at night and have capacity for their days usage, then it is pretty much all good. If you would need to supplement the overnight charge with additional daytime charging, you might not be the audience for an electric car.

I really just see the BEV as a means of extending the lifespan of the ICE vehicle by taking a slice out of the demand for oil. Keeps petroleum affordable to the masses just a little bit longer.
