The EV Transition Explained: Can the Grid Cope?

Cars That Think

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.
