Not only russia....
Wait until electric cars reach 10% of cars and watch the collapse of the electric grid
Switch brain on: we have been pestered to "save electricity", buy energy efficient lamps and so on and now
plug into the SAME electric grid something that is 100 times the usage tha tyou used to have
ohhhh, wait, I se what you are going to say !!!
I keep my tesla parked in garage, no electricity used.
then WHY are you having a car ?

Powering every passenger car and light truck in the United States with electricity would take 2.7% more power than we use today.
.
Not in a real world
1) your data is ONLY for cars, not light truck, powering a truck is hugely different 2) Efficiency is around 2miles / kWh not 4 3) Nothing is computed for harsh climate (heating/cooling required) 4) Maximum generated capacity is interesting but irrelevant, what matters is current generated capacity
all in all, withouth 3) we are at 6% more, globally, withouth trucks the main issue is distribution, take a group of 10 houses than now drain basically nothing at night They will be drawing at least 50kWh, seems little but it is a huge difference from current baseline
is the power grid up to task, not at all
It includes light duty trucks
Efficiency is around 2miles / kWh not 4
Not for passenger cars it isn't. Not even close.
Nothing is computed for harsh climate (heating/cooling required)
Because it's relatively small impact. Running the heat for an hour takes about 1% of a 60 kWh battery's charge. Same for cooling.

Why can the grid handle it during the day but not at night?
Who cares, electric cars are gay and are pushed solely so that the jew can have control of your ability to travel long distances.
How do you propose an electric car can be prevented from traveling long distances where a liquid fueled car could not?
