A favorite trope of the "Don't get me wrong, I love EVs, but..." crowd is the idea that widespread EV adoption will cause the electrical grid to "crash." Those who follow the industry understand that this concern is overblown, to say the least. Simply scheduling charging for times of low demand (smart charging) can greatly mitigate the increased load, and once the emerging technology of bidirectional charging comes into its own, EVs are expected to become a valuable asset for the grid. It's telling that few if any of those "sounding the alarm" about EVs' electrical consumption seem to work for utilities, most of which are reliable boosters of EV adoption.
