The EVs will kill the power grid. Or will they?

Many challenges stand in the way of widespread EV adoption, but the power grid isn't one of them.

Your article is purely theoretic. Real life is not. Uk has days in winter when is producing at peak capacity purely because there is no wind or is very cold and people need to heat up and lots use electricity.
If we take into account that ev s use more energy when is cold, that means they need to be charged more often.
So if right conditions are met which can easily happen in winter it can put UK grid to it s knees.

"Just use and do not worry" approach we have rigth now, so do not propose it for EV. We are not able to produce clear energy to cover our needs, we don't know what to do with old batteries, we are nor able to coserve electric energy. Electronic garbage hills are rising. Whatever the future be, it will cost us a lot. And grid update is the smallest issue. We have already problem with old wind blades, are made of composite, so are being kept underground. Very green approach, right?
Is we want to do something for environment please stop using diesel cars. Not in a decade, right now! Pollution shift from citycenter to carbon energy plant is good for people in the city, but worse for nature.

Preach!!! There are alot of ignorant statements being made especially from proponents of big oil. This type of explanation need to be made by major news everywhere.
