True. We'll probably end up settling near Vancouver.

Current EV batteries should last over 500,000 miles. Remember, though that some degradation is normal, but if they degrade more than 20% there's a problem.

With brownouts, blackouts and some asked to cut back on usage how is the grid going to handle more electric cars?

The last and current month have the electric grid maxed out and providers begging folks to cut back. We are not anywhere close to being ready for EVs as the norm.

If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Charge at night - that's what I do. This is using base power generation for my charging and not the peak power generators that are insufficient for the middle of the day.

You must live in the North? here in the South it is hot at night, hence A/C is going. I grew up in Phoenix, it don't ever get cool there.

What about winters in the North?, How does the frigid weather effect batteries?

You charge at night but if say a great number of people go electric then what? Charge using the initial in your last name?, every other day?

We ain't ready and there's nothing in the pipeline to get us ready.

By proclamation of the current squatters at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. that word has been stricken from usage here in the US of A. Go directly to jail. Do not pass "Go"! Do not collect $200.

I would try to drill down and get to the root of the problem but I'm afraid that's out of the question also.

I live in Denver. Summer heat isn't as bad as Arizona, but it stays hot at night. I haven't heard of rolling blackouts at night in Phoenix - the baseline power is sufficient. As for winter driving, expect 20% range loss between 0 and 32F and 30% below 0F. This is why range on an EV is important.

Enjoy it while you can.

The nation’s transmission network, plagued by outages and increasingly severe weather, needs a trillion-dollar overhaul to handle the Biden administration’s promised clean-energy revolution. No one is taking charge of that problem.[^]

With 3 KW available per home, it's a bit unwieldy. Plus the cost of electricity is 60 cents/KWh, not really that affordable. If you don't own a garage (typical here) it's even worse because
A) you can't charge your car at all
B) batteries really, really, REALLY don't like continuous thermal stress.

At 2.1 € / litre I have a very severe case of coprolalia each time I have to refuel. Even LPG reached 0.80€/liter.
