Worst part is the massive amount of increase in size the grid will have to be to handle the daily energy transfer of electricity for automobiles.
Electricity will become much more expensive when EVs are the norm. More power lines, transformers, and maintenance will be needed. Solar will become more common, but the demand will be massive and so will the price to buy panels.
I wouldn't be surprised if electricity becomes 5x more expensive if all automobiles are EVs.
Then, when a new battery tech comes out, all that lithium will become worthless and dumped where convenient, destroying the wildlife.
This is another myth. Thre grid need only grow like it did from the 50s to the 80s. According to your logic, the current grid is all bad.
Growth is easily accounted for and nowhere near as bad as many falsely claim.
There is a massive amount of energy carried by petroleum, that now has to be absorbed by power lines, transformers, and related equipment. Also the amount of power really determines the size of the lines, having fast charging will require large equipment.
EVs everywhere will make electricity very expensive. Also think to yourself, why are they shoving EVs down our throats? Just like this vax, they aren't shoving it down our throats for our advantage.
Actually not as bad as you think. Keep in mind, only around 30+% of the power stored in fuel is used by ICE. That's a ton of waste energy simply transferred to the atmosphere as waste heat.
