What do you think will happen when several hundred thousand or a million EV’s get plugged in. This is a joke on us!

Grids won’t handle another million EV’s plus all the electricity we’re using now, guaranteed!

Sure it’s going to happen! We better open Keystone Pipeline & get back to keep building gasoline cars. EV people better wake up, we’re moving to fast.

There are a lot of power lines above ground in The Villages now. I would expect some outages eventually. At least you were not freezing and out of power.

Never! The space lasers and our thermostats will keep us powered up when it gets to that point. Have you run out of tinfoil yet?

Well, as long as you guarantee it it must be so.

What areas have the above ground power lines? I've not been paying a lot of attention but I certainly don't remember seeing many (if any).

. You’re right Florida is notorious for power outages & Surges. Wait until they get a million EV’s out there, you’ll see more & longer outages. The grids won’t be able to handle it.
