wayne, there’s talk of blackouts this summer, and the reason is that we can’t keep up with current demand.

if we all had electric cars, doesn’t demand increase a lot?

If we can’t meet today’s demand, how do we meet tomorrow’s ( higher) demand?

we need a lot more electricity, and electric cars need 350 miles of range and the ability to recharge in an hour. THEN they work for almost everyone. Today, they don’t work for many, many people.

The F150 lightning you mentioned, has a range of 120 miles when towing ( a little more of you fork over another $10k for higher range). You don’t think that limits its practicality?
