32 amps? Our house pulls less than that at peak use, with AC and hot tub running.
That 32 amps is just a standard charge rate. A fast charger pulls 200+ amps.
Estimated 3.7 KWh charge to get about 5 miles out of an EV. For my wife to commute it would take a minimum of 8 hours to charge, that's nearly 30 KWh at least 6 days a week. That's about 775 KWh a month. Currently our consumption is half that. It IS less than gosoline.
Doesn't help with the increased cost of insurance, for a new car, Hving to upgrade the wiring in this 70 year old house and having to buy a new 50-60 thousand dollar car. Overall? It's cheaper to keep 'er. Uh, IC cars that is.
THEN, as soon as they realize what it's going to cost to move over to EVs there's going to be another tax increase, that even IC vehicle owners will have to pay right on top of their fuel taxes. Power will increase as the power supply companies upgrade the grid. Cost wise EVs will suck ass.
Typical administrators though, concentrate on one aspect of a problem. Been the case in emissions throughout the history of the EPA.
