All you EV fans, please take note:
Toyota warns that the grid and infrastructure simply aren’t there to support the electrification of the private car fleet. A 2017 U.S. government study found that we would need about 8,500 strategically-placed charge stations to support a fleet of just 7 million electric cars. That’s about six times the current number of electric cars but no one is talking about supporting just 7 million cars. We should be talking about powering about 300 million within the next 20 years, if all manufacturers follow GM and stop making ICE cars.
Simply put, we’re gonna need a bigger energy boat to deal with connecting all those cars to the power grids. A LOT bigger.

I have written about this subject before and arrived at a similar conclusion.
What's really going on here? If TPTB follow through with this initiative, it means one of two things:
1. Either a lot fewer of us will be driving our own cars, or
2. There will be a lot fewer of us.
Which of these two possibilities do you think is consistent with the rapid development of robotics/AI and the demand for universal deployment of "safe and effective" experimental vaccines with allegedly insignificant long-term side effects?
By the way, here's a tidbit which suggests that building a bigger energy boat will be more difficult than advertised:
Can you find that on Yahoo News?
