Fears about infrastructure
Fears about infrastructure (copied and edited from a popular automotive magazine)
Honda and others goes all in on electric vehicles by 2040 ... some even earlier. As with all the others rushing to go all electric, there remain concerns. As we all found out recently in Texas, the power grid was not up to it at all. With no nuclear or coal expansion, wind will not be reliable enough to sustain the demand for electric vehicles … neither will solar. If these vehicles are all here by 2030 or even 2035, demanding the capacity for charging, the cost for satisfying their needs will also drive up residential as well as commercial rates for businesses. We will just be back to where we are paying today for fuel. The infrastructure may not be ready for it when all the vehicles when they are here for consumers to buy. Want a peek at what I mean? Today we still drive on 1960s-vintage two lane interstate highways.
