What would happen if we all plugged our EVs in at the same time⁠?

The source is a blog post by Enrique Dans, a technology and business consultant, that addresses the common concern that widespread adoption of electric vehicles would overload power grids. Dans refutes this concern, citing evidence from the National Grid of the UK that the transition to electric vehicles would only increase energy demand by about 10%, a level the grid has already handled in the past. He argues that concerns about overloading the grid are unfounded and emphasizes the environmental benefits of electric vehicles, including cleaner air and a reduction in fossil fuel reliance. The comments section following the post features a lively debate among readers, with some agreeing with Dans's optimism, while others raise valid concerns about the infrastructure required for widespread electric vehicle adoption, including the need for more charging stations, upgrades to electrical grids, and the costs associated with these changes.
