Too many electrical cars overwhelm the Grid

hats not a practical idea

If you have a better idea, I’m listening.

I doubt 5% of leftist loons on here own an EV...put your thousands where your mouths are

Ok

But first do you concede the impracticality of battery exchange stations?

Plenty of Teslas out here on The Island and our electricity works just fine.

Amazing isn't it?

Amazing isn't it?

You missed your state begging residents to turn down the AC didn't ya?

Good grief you leftists are ignorant

Arizona begged us to turn down the AC? I guess I did miss it.

I've been very comfortable since...forever here in my condo.

Car batteries

EV’s made practical

I think there is a second solution to the recharging problem.
Instead of spending hours recharging your car battery, why not just exchange the battery pack with a recharged one?
The current gas service stations could dig up the huge fuel tanks and replace this space with automated racks of charged battery packs.
The car drives into a narrow space like today’s drive-through car washing stations.

I think this would be a simple solution to a huge problem.
The turnaround time should be about as long as it took to fill the tank of a conventional car gas tank.

And this is in the works

Bullshit. There’s plenty of oil for hundreds of years if not more.
Electric fantasy world starves people to death right now. Those who abet the electric fantasy world contribute to starvation. Just to be vogue and stoke their own egos.

China seems to disagree00
China is the world's leading country in electricity production from renewable energy sources, with over double the generation of the second-ranking country, the United States. In 2013 the country had a total capacity of 378 GW of renewable power, mainly from hydroelectric and wind power. China's renewable energy sector is growing faster than its fossil fuels and nuclear power capacity.

Although China currently has the world's largest installed capacity of hydro, solar and wind power, its energy needs are so large that in 2013 renewables provided just a little over 20% of its power generation, with most of the remainder provided by traditional coal power facilities. Nevertheless, the share of renewable sources in the energy mix had been gradually rising from 2013.

China sees renewables as a source of energy security and not just only to reduce carbon emission. China’s Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution issued by China’s State Council in September 2013, illustrates the government's desire to increase the share of renewables in China’s energy mix. Unlike oil, coal and gas, the supplies of which are finite and subject to geopolitical tensions, renewable energy systems can be built and used wherever there is sufficient water, wind, and sun.

As Chinese renewable manufacturing has grown, the costs of renewable energy technologies have dropped dramatically. Innovation has helped, but the main driver of reduced costs has been market expansion. In 2015 China became the world's largest producer of photovoltaic power, with 43 GW of total installed capacity. From 2005 to 2014, production of solar cells in China has expanded 100-fold.

Public news has no clue; ii seems to me
How about you? -
warnimg: this is a trick question.

China. They are paragons of honesty and transparency.
