Electric vehicles are ‘batteries on wheels’ that can put energy back into the National Grid when solar panels and windfarms do not provide much power

    This kind of thing always seems overblown to me. Can’t electric companies, you know, upgrade their gear?

    Sure, if you waved a magic wand and suddenly every ICE car was a plug-in EV, you’d have widespread blackouts.

    There is no magic wand. People are adopting EVs gradually which means that power companies can stay ahead of the adoption rate and upgrade capacity as needed.
