There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. Converting a gas appliance to a heat pump, for example, would draw 4 to 6 kW, while an L2 charger for EVs would be 12 to 14 kW. The answer is a nuanced “perhaps.” million miles of power lines.
