Will EVs break the grid if all of us plug in at once? According to our study, 61% of UK chauffeurs fear it might … We teamed up with @skodaUK to arrange the facts from the fiction. Spoiler alert: the lights will stay on.

Do these fearmongers think that Norway’s grid has collapsed? Derp!
Ho dear. A person ( and I like Nicola) who is adding and subtracting percentages. 🤪. You cannot use percentage in this format. Try Kwhs then and now, do the sums then, its a bit closer than you think. 😳
It would be almost identical but for one key thing (Nicola didn’t cover this) all modern home wall boxes can be instructed to slow a charge down, so if it was close to peak they could limit most to say 4kWh preventing peak draw.
Yay for us still using dumb charges
what are you talking about?
Reduction is demand is also due to reduction in industrial demand… AND electricity demand is projected to DOUBLE in the next 5-10 years. EVs charging off-peak is the real win here
1 we don’t live all at houses but many of us live to apartment here in Greece.
2 yes we have reduce the electricity but many electricity factories had also closed. So if you want more energy you must build again electricity factories.
Even in Greece is possible. First of all, every lamp post can have a slow charger, I know it’s difficult to find parking you might search for parking for hours, so it will be much more difficult to find a paing spot in front of the lamp post. These parking spots can be only for charging and only for 5-10 hours. Then you ‘ll have to move your car, you can park there when you return from work and move it the next morning, or park it while you are at work and move it when you return home. There are solutions for everything.
My record for looking for a parking spot in the center of Thessaloniki for 2 hours and 45 minutes. I parked my van in the middle of the street and went to a near by cafe to pee, I couldn’t hold it anymore and that was back in 1997.
I drive an EV and I love it, but I feel the NG is far from ready…
Funny no one ever worries about the grid, when everyone turn on their appliances at home at the same time…
What about the demand from the growth of data centres?
“let’s all charge our cars overnight when power is cheaper cos there’s no demand”. Hmm, that’ll work.
