That's probably more realistic than so-called renewables.

Exactly. Or pipe in oil from overseas to run those plants (since Biden killed our energy independence).
But I do think the extra electricity needed is a bit overstated - typically people charge cars in the evening, when the demand for electricity is lower. This actually lowers the ratio of peak to average power, which is a good thing for the power companies.

From right here, silly.

The energy used in the transportation sector is double the entire delivered electric power system. They won't replace it just by charging from the off peak times.
