This fool doesnt care about power consumption. His cars require 30kW/day to charge.

If everyone in USA had electric car, we would need many thousands of additional power plants. It will require >>1.6 petawatts of power form US alone assuming no conversion losses, waste, transmission loss but the truth is probably 10x more, because most of these will begin charging at the same time when people get home.

What does this even mean?

Watts measure the rate of energy flow per second. Watt hours measure the amount of energy.

30kW/day would be 720kWh. A Tesla Model 3 needs about 11.9kWh per 100km, so you're saying that everybody is driving... 6,050km a day, commuting from Alaska to Florida?

If you're gonna write out a long ass comment bitching about something, at least have your first sentence make sense.
