Can our GRID keep up with DEMAND?

[Ogre]

This issue I can see is the ramp rate of BEV plants In tesla's case> is a LOT faster than the ramp rate of electrical power generation.
So if the delta between getting 100 miles worth of gas in your car.. and getting 100 miles worth of electricity into your BEV is very high.. we are going to acumulate a LOT of energy debt and no way to break even.

This isn’t true.

Power generation has been coming online at a rate much faster than EV penetration. The grid capacity hasn’t been increasing largely because when new capacity comes online, they retire coal and NG generation capacity.

For example, look at New Mexico over just the past 5 years.

This is happening globally. Solar and wind power are growing insanely fast.

It's still crazy to see people say that electrical ramp up can't happen soon enough.

It's almost the easiest delivery system.

There's an informative thread on TMC about EV charging with 100A service:
