@ariaflame @the5thColumnist @shanie Fast Charging stations can have their own batteries. Avoids expensive upgrades to the electricity lines to cope with peak currents. Any transition to evs would be slower than it takes to build new renewables. It will be a gradual process over years. Not every car is going to be a ev overnight. Not every ev is going to be changed at the same time. Most charging happens at home. So distributed. Pairs well with rooftop solar. Evs are more efficient than fossil fuel vehicles, so you can't just convert the energy used by fossil fuel vehicles. Where a data centre will need 3 seperate electricity lines from different substations and be drawing large amounts of electricity all the time.
