There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. Further, the system was designed for one-way power, not for distributed renewable-energy devices sending power back into the system. The answer is a nuanced “perhaps.” million miles of power lines.

Whilst with unidirectional (one-way) EV chargers, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle, with bidirectional (two-way) EV chargers, electricity can flow both ways. This also helps avoid situations in which a large proportion of EV owners charge at the same time, overloading the energy supply grid.
