You are looking at house outlets, I am looking at the electrical infrastructure from the transmission lines to the transformers.
We're talking about monitoring and controlling. How is the power company monitoring whether that 1,500W load at your house is a car charging or a blowdryer?
If everyone has EVs, then it becomes the power company's problem as there would be much more electrical demand.
All that energy from gasoline and diesel will be transferred over to the grid.
Yes, but what does that have to do with tracking your car through your charger?
This comment is about the grid, the grid will have issues charging all those cars.
Also now you only have one energy source, now you aren't as diverse.
If they decide to shut down electricity, now you have very limited travel. At least with gas stations, they can power the fuel pumps with gas/diesel generators.
