When we talk about infrastructure it seems to always be referring to charging station and no consideration for the generating infrastructure. Can you imagine were we would be right now if all the cars on the road today were EV’s. At the moment its still a tiny percentage and there talking about blackouts if the weather gets cold. We have governments in the west that are clueless on just about everything but hope they got some sort of plan for upping the generation game in 7 years time or they really are about to break the nuclear fusion problem soon.
Blackouts and EVs are unrelated. The black out warnings are because some idiot believed that buying power and oil from one unfriendly country was wise. Once that was stopped, some countries have found their ability to supply electricity so badly impacted they can’t cope, while others have really struggled. ALL have invested dramatically less than necessary in building their own generation network, whether that’s nuclear, coal, renewable or a combination of all or some of the above, they’ve done nothing. Now, that has come back to bite us, the public on the butt with price increases caused by supply pricing and no option to go elsewhere. Even now, the powerstations being built are on a deal that wouldn’t see us any better off. Guaranteed future electricity prices for a French company? Who thought that wise?
