People have owned EVS like Tesla s for over 8 years and have no issues with charging.

The grid in both countries are handling it fine, off peak tariffs and storage batteries will smooth out the demand on the grid.

Electricity is available everywhere and is dirt cheap compared to installing and running petrol stations.

You can install chargers in shopping malls, work, residential buildings and sidewalks.

Electrical power is everywhere.

People drive from California to New York, Melbourne to Gold coast regularly in a Tesla.
Yeah except every time it lightly rains out here in the Macedon Ranges we lose power to our estate, or when everyone turns on their A/C on hot days, or when its cold and everyone uses their A/C on heating function - hamster on the wheel out here is part of the CFMMEU and goes on strike when the going gets tough

This aint California or the USA mate this is Australia with third world power infrastructure owned by foreign companies who don't maintain anything.

Like when the power lines fell off the pole a decade ago and started a bushfire that killed circa 170 people.

Imagine Adelaide with electric cars - they can't even keep the power on with 1.3M people
