Only if you use crap power plants, nukes and renewables are nowhere near that. Plus of course making petrol consumes a cartload of electricity - as much as 6KWh per gallon - which is why we won't overload the grid by switching to EVs, we already use comparable amounts of electricity to make gasoline.
Mmmm not sure about this?
I was told that replacing 28% of the petrol and diesel engine cars right now and replacing them with EV - would overload the National Grid at its max capacity.....
Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!
