I didn't read all the comments, but power grid constraints vary by region. In fact in some regions there is an abundance of power, more than the demand.

West coast and parts of the East though have power constraints, lots of factors there.

EV market penetration is rising strongly but still like around 7% of total car and light truck sales.

A friend who works for VW said that he think the power train offering will be a mix going forward, hybrids make more sense for many folks without garage charging, ie. street parkers and renters.

I don't see me making the swap to a EV anytime soon, maybe in a few years we might have one after we move out of Chicago.
