I would love to use EV - it is simpler, more torque etc. But where do we get all this additional electricity from, mostly burning carbon?
And there's plenty of capacity at night. And there are batteries, which we can charge with for example solar in the daytime, and then use at night.
Rooftop solar is great because it's near the point of use. All the people wringing their hands about the grid can rest easy, it will be fine. Sure in some climate solar is less available; see above… it can be a mix as appropriate for the place.
ok, but others do.
The current landscape is just that, current. We can build new stuff. I agree there are challenges with speed and scale though. I don’t think they are completely insurmountable.
