This increase would necessitate significant investments in new generation and storage capacity, likely involving natural gas—a counterproductive measure for decarbonization efforts.
Optimizing the placement of public charging stations has been a focus of research, but long-term solutions require accurate modeling of charging behaviors, including where, when, and how frequently drivers charge their vehicles.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
They can't even keep up demand for overnight charging of EVs NOW. How can they outlaw ICE vehicles in 6 years? Where's the thousands of new electrical power plants; solar, wind or otherwise being planned?
There aren't any! The whole thing is cuckoo!

It was 13 degrees here last night. How long would a partial charge last in this weather?
