The California power grid can barely maintain the load that is on it now; imagine the brownouts with 30 million EVs added to that. Not to mention the elephant in the room that is battery disposal...

Multiply the pic below by 270 million electric cars and that's your future vistas with EV's:
You are right, but I don't see that many electric cars in our life time or our kids lifetime. So by then maybe we will have different technology to do it?

I do know one thing, I sure am glad not every one is driving a 59 Rambler every day in my area like I am. LOL
