I’ve always been curious about the math here. Where does the electricity come from? Coal, Nuclear, Gas and Oil powered generation along with some solar and wind. Is the current grid capable of supporting 90 percent of vehicles going electric? Or…will we have to build thousands of new power plants? Would be have to carpet the globe in solar panels and windmills to make it all green? Does the math work or is it all “pie in the sky?”

the math definitely works. it’s already been working. one man alone, elon musk, has already created the entire infrastructure to be able to drive all the way across the country and through canada by charging at superchargers (80% charge in 20 minutes) every 300 miles or so. and he just announced and took preorders for the affordbale version of the tesla at 35k to compete with most other cars (and already got almost 500,000 preorders before they’ve even seen it…including myself who put a deposit down). and that’s just the start. he’s already building cities (tesla town) powered completely by electricity generated from solar energy. he just started manufacturing solar ROOFS, not panels, but entire ROOFS. he has created the powerwall to store the energy for your home. he even released all of his patents to be open source so other manufacturers can do it. he just opened the worlds biggest factory in Nevada, called the Gigafactory, where he’s producing all of this stuff. They’re testing solar ROADWAYS, yes roads made of solar panels, on Route 66 now and in parts of Germany, which collect solar energy and store it and put it into the grid, as well as help charge the car while it’s actually driving. all from solar. heck some entire COUNTRIES are evne on baord, look at what scotland did just this week, they produced 106% of the energy they need, yes MORE than they need, all from renewables. it’s already happening, people just aren’t paying attention to it. and if there’s one thing we can be sure of, we’re certainly going to have enough sun to buy us enough time to figure out the next thing…
