[QUOTE="VRYALT3R3D, post: 16605625, member: 131770"] Austin, Texas has a fleet of a dozen electric busses. But when that winter storm took down the Texas grid, those busses were useless. Not only does Texas need to guard its grid against extreme weather, it needs more generating capacity. But so does the whole United States. Reuters reports the U.S. needs to double its generating capacity by 2050 to accommodate EVs. The Boston Consulting Group says the average utility company needs to spend anywhere from $1,700 to $5,800 for every EV added to the grid by 2030, which would bring the total bill to $200 billion. But Reuters cites other utilities saying they can handle the transition and will not need more capacity until after 2030. One thing they all agree on: the grid needs to get greener or we won’t make progress fighting climate change.
