Modern large commercial buildings already suck down this amount and more.

And how mamy cars in said building? How many will be allowed to charge at the same time? Should we expect same grid for large commercial buildings and rural charging stations?

If there’s literally one place in America we need to throw money at, it’s the electrical grid.

We have a decades out of date power infrastructure, Europe especially has us beat.

Just like electrification originally, and later the internet, increasing power delivery will have benefits for everyone that pay off for centuries .

Mostly we need to make the grid far smarter.

Evs should be allowed to load coordinate with the grid, so they switch on at the optimum times for grid stability in exchange for major discounts on power.

A superload like this one should have to request clearance, then the grid compensates by reducing ‘cheap ev power’ in the area, while also requesting evs configured for v2g to be ready to possibly supply.

The supercharger has a slightly higher cost per kwh to make up for this, but that is the cost of convenience.
