How will the electric grid handle 100% electric vehicles? (Part 2)

Part 1 of this series outlined the total increase in grid capacity needed for a 100% electrified light duty vehicle (LDV) fleet in the U.S. by 2040. It showed that with no additional technology, the required grid capacity increase is on the low end of historic grid growth. This part will cover a set of

How will the electric grid handle 100% electric vehicles? (Part 1)

Handling a 100% electric vehicle (EV) scenario will require significant upgrades and modifications to the existing electric grid, but how much? And how does that compare to historic grid growth? We’ll start with an estimate of the additional grid capacity needed for a fully electrified light-duty vehicle (LDV) fleet in the U.S. and then compare
