Oh how weird. So they can like, bring more energy online and make it available to Germans?
Because I keep getting attacked for saying electric cars are coming and it cannot be stopped. They say we can't make an more power because we don't know how to make more power. That's why electric cars are stupid.
So Germany can make more power if they want. That's fine.
But the USA couldn't. It's impossible. People would buy the cars and then there would just be brown-outs and then IDK people would go back to using gasoline cars.
But Germans, if they get low on energy, they will get mad and then the problem gets fixed.
Ha, with what they have still will barely cover their needs currently. If everyone went electric in their car choice, it would still overwhelm the grid system. It's not about how much power you can generate, but how it is distributed. Why do you think California keeps having all these fires? Not because they don't have enough power, but everyone plugging their shit in all at once is melting the transmission lines. The infrastructure would need to change to support it, not just having more generators on line.
I feel like that’s exclusively a Cali problem for now, if you lived in say, Utah or Idaho the power grid could actually handle it since those two states can produce more than they consume. Idaho already has created one of the best power grid systems in the country off of Hydro and wind power, and could readily transition straight into EVs. And I agree with u/Lapstrake because EVs are going to become more popular just off of cost savings alone, not because of the “green” appeal.

Seems kinda weird to me.

They also have fewer people per square foot than California. LA has more people that like 35 or so states.
True dat.
