But the grid can’t handle EV or the “pollution” they create.

    funnily the all the "grid can't handle all the EV charging" is just assuming everyone is going to fast charge the same time, when in reality most are just going to be using either level 1 overnight charging every night or fast charge for a way shorter time so very few people are doing that at the same time.

    Fun fact: This could possibly be true at the same time.

    While this certainly could be true, I would say it's only that way because state and federal government refuse to invest in our aging energy grid.

    with proper taxation and directing that towards upgrading the infrastructure, supporting it is absolutely possible.
