    Maybe, but there’s a lot more chance to solve it 20 years out

    More importantly, generating and transmitting more power is not the only option. It is for ai since a datacenter needs huge power continuously. However EVs need much smaller amounts of power intermittently. If I plug in overnight, I don’t care when it charges or how fast as long as it’s done by morning. Not everyone does that at the same time, and we ought to be able to create a “smart” solution to coordinate this and minimize the impact

    EV potentially could coordinate with the grid so we don’t need much or any additional power but just use it at different times
