      Yes and the electric company is handsomely rewarded for providing that service.

        You can have infinity watts at the power dam but the grid to and in your town can still have capacity issues.

        This should not be hard to understand.

          Nor should it be hard to understand that power companies are not stupid and already have a roadmap for renewables (solar, hydro, wind etc.), energy storage, EV charging facilities and other 21st century concerns. They are not blindsided by this change and are looking forward to it.

            It’s as if you haven’t read the original comment this thread is about but just want to argue for the sake of arguing.

              Actually I have and I’m also aware that electric companies including in Canada have roadmaps out until 2050 to accommodate not just EVs, but the transition to heat pumps, renewables and all the rest.

                  It’s not about arguing but stating a fact. Power companies have roadmaps for electrification and removal of fossil fuels. EV adoption isn’t something they’re not preparing for. It’s very easy to search this out.

                    Again, you’re here to argue and have fun with that. You’re arguing they’ve planned for this in a thread about the grid being unable to cope. I don’t see how you’re doing anything but spinning tires in mud.
