ELECTRIC VEHICLES WON'T BRING DOWN THE POWER GRID

Time to remove thumb from panic button, take a step back and breathe EV lovers. Your EV will not bring down the grid. According to Discovery News (seriously) the panic around the grid becoming susceptible to collapse due to us all plugging in our cars at the same time is simply misguided. Why? Because even with 250K plug-in vehicles in the US charging at the same time it's simply not enough to bring it down. Whether true or false it's nice to see someone challenging the notion that EV adoption will indoctrinate us to third world rolling blackouts.
