Even if that is the case, I would argue the grid could sustain people charging EVs at various times during the day or setting up off-peak charging schedule than it can sustain all the AI slop being generated 24-7. Yet the people I hear complaining about the theoretical load EVs could technically put onto the grid have nothing to say about the AI data centers that are actively raising energy costs and demanding more power than the local infrastructure can actually provide. And really, it could sustain if we would have leadership that would support efforts to do so instead of trying to hinder renewables deployment in favor of more fossil fuels that are *also* going up in price because of their bullshit.

1. Start investing in (green/cheap) power 2. Dynamic contracts (off-peak charging) Pulling oil from the ground is so much less sustainable, and it will only get more expensive
