Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed John D. O’Connor.
Western governments, including of course, the U.S., are imposing massive EV mandates. These will seemingly require about 26.4 million EVs in the U.S. by 2030, and 200 million by 2050. Even if society is not too poor to acquire these expensive vehicles, these mandates will not save on CO2 emissions, but, more importantly, it will be impossible to build the infrastructure needed to accommodate the increased charging needs. The need for increasing electrical panels and garages for self-charging will be daunting enough. But residential power grids will be overtaxed and therefore needing of expensive upgrades. We must build mini-power plants to service the large charging stations needed. The expense of building heavier transformers and new grids is multiples of past costs. Moreover, our national security would be increasingly at risk as an incapacitation of our electrical grid will completely shut down our economy, to a degree which would not happen in a society powered by fossil fuel power unconnected to the grid. We should all look before we leap.
