I'm skeptical of a narrative where concern for the electrical grid's ability to handle load is only considered for EV growth over several years versus the air conditioning use in the current unprecedented heatwave.
Anecdotally, my A/C energy usage (compared to last year) far outweighs my energy usage in an EV.
Not to mention radical increases from demanding everyone switch to heat pumps plus demanding industry switch to electrified versions of everything too. It's seriously a complete fantasy to think the grid can happen all that with minimal upgrades.
