Projections say 22 percent of power in 2022 will be from green sources, 2023 will see the figure grow to 24 percent, and the percentage will continue to increase.
So if the grid gets 2% more green per year, for 7 years in a row, it will be 14.8% more green. If we go from 6% EV's to 50% EV's in 7 years, isn't that going to mean EV's will be less and less green per mile driven every year?
Approximately 1/3 of all household energy consumption is transportation (vehicle fuel). If we add that much energy load to the electric grid to convert that 1/3 consumption to be only sourced by electricity, the green factor of that grid won't keep pace.
An this completely ignores that cars are charged at night when there is very little green energy. A very large portion of that green energy is only available in daylight hours. The grid is already unbalanced, this this will amplify that imbalance.
It's taking something that is already a problem, and making it rapidly much worse.
