You can mandate these electric cars, but there is no accompanying mandates or funding to supply power to them. The supply side will suffer terribly. It won't work as currently planned, and it takes a terribly long time to get anything done in the power industry even when there is money and a good plan (and currently there is neither).
Most EVs charge at night when the grid is under-utilized. The grid is being constantly updated as far as capacity and infrastructure, more in some places and less in others, but generally grows over time.

Are this OAN talking points or something?
