Only at your reading level. Read everything again slowly.
Perhaps the source of your confusion is founded in your inability to comprehend the implications of what you're saying. I'll lay it out for people who will understand. I'm pretty sure you will not. so don't worry if it doesn't make sense to you.
the reality here is that the rest of us are suckers because we allow parasites to extract value from us without properly adjusting for it.
The implication here is that customers purchasing electricity to charge an electric car are somehow leeching even though they're paying the same price for electricity that everyone else is. "Properly adjusting" is a euphamism for tracking how people use the electricity they buy and penalizing them for using it in ways not pre-approved by the central planning committee.
I can see how might be inclined to want to read into the statement.
My preference is to allow the free market to calculate the price rates and negotiate the upgrades of the grid as necessary. There are a few problems to this:
A free market pushes price discover down to the consumer level. This is the right level at which price discovery belongs, however, consumers are neither trained in the negotiation skills necessary to negotiate with sharks doing this work nor are they interested in all the additional work necessary to get this done effectively. Basically, most citizens want this done at the government level because in their minds they hire politicians to do stuff like this for them. Citizens want to go to work, come home, cook a meal and offload management of civilization to other layers of society.
Next, I cannot imagine ripping out the power grid to the home and running all new copper to provide the new power requirements. Not only that, I don't even know how you can do proper future proofing for this given that we cannot project what other new miraculous technologies will be born that will be sucking power out of the outlet at the home overnight. Perhaps the next stage beyond a Tesla is a AI robot that does all the work on your house or something? I don't see how it would be feasable to actually replace the entire grid with a new one to the home even if we wanted to.
However, what we can do is create a bunch of supercharger locations that have the massive amounts of copper necessary to recharge all of the electric cars at a rate equal to the energy dispenses by current gas stations. The numbers are still proposterous but nowhere near as absurd as upgrading the entire to the home grid.
Instead, here is what is happening:
You guys are being pushed by people that now the numbers to buy electric cars and saturate the grid. They want you guys to push the grid over its capacities and force governments to do something about this. This will mean a hodge podge of bullshit solutions with monopolies and oligoplolies provided to the usual suspects.
As well, they already know the numbers at the international level. This is why Agenda 23 has that whole thing about "you will own nothing and be happy" and the whole "no private property" and "move all humans into approved habitation zones". The reason those exist from a grand planning perspective is because those that do the math know that you cannot upgrade the whole to home grid to power all electric cars. They already know that. Instead, what they think they will be doing is super concentrating humans into giant cities and force people to give up cars altogether and force them onto mass transportation because (theoretically) that is far more energy efficient than having a bunch of tiny icus or 100s of millions of teslas sipping on current at the home.
In other words, we aren't getting electric cars. It isn't possible given current knowledge of physics relative to already sunk investments in infrastructure vs current debt loads globally vs needed investment.
And so we roll on toward a grand communist bullshit scheme because people like you claim nonsense about electric cars being viable when they really aren't in the big picture.
I want them to become viable. I want communists to lose BIG TIME. I want something like a super capacitor at four times the power density of current Tesla battery pack, at half the weight or less depending on the application and half the cost or less hopefully in pure solid state form so it lasts a long time.
The first person to figure that one out maximizes human freedom, maximizes capitalisams potential, distributes the power amongst the most people and becomes the richest person the world has ever seen.
Or the most dead person, because no military would ever let that technology get in the hands of the opposing military.

What third world country do you live in? My home's existing electrical panel and utility supply is enough to charge 5 Teslas overnight simultaneously, and it's just a standard 200A panel. There won't be any need to rewire homes. Utilities will have to upgrade their grid capacity.

To my way of thinking, this has the right directional trajectory for how we need to think about energy storage: half the weight, up to 10 times the energy density of current lithium car batteries to match the energy density of carbon fuels, recyclable, zero risk of runaway heat reactions, same speed to re-fuel as gas and so forth.
This solution (if it works even) is not quite half the weight, only like %30 more energy dense than lithium ion so it won't be viable as a replacement at gas stations because they are not on par in energy density to gas and stations would need huge physical storage areas to make this universally viable.
But, maybe, the right mix of variables can be found.
Right.
Read everything I wrote again.
