Kees van der LeunAn electric car in the Netherlands uses around 300 Watt on average over a year. That's not a lot. The grid challenges arise because people like to charge them fast. 11 kW in a residential street is a lot. And so is 150-400 kW at a fast charging station.
Bart Jutte@Sustainable2050 it depends if something is a lot or not in terms of charging. Location and time are relevant. The system needs to be more dynamic: lots of sun or wind: charge your car. During tight times: deliver back to the grid. Batteries will be an additional gamechanger. The first fast chargers combined with a battery pack are already in use..
