Electric cars need to be plugged into a socket for several hours to fully recharge. Some say this may strain the global power grid, but a new study shows demand will only increase by 10-15%, even if all new cars were electric by 2030.
It is currently estimated that electric cars consume 0.2% of electricity. But, as adoption increases, it is obvious that this demand will grow. The big question is, how much?
There is a lot of interest on the part of some companies, energy companies and businesses that work in the polluting fuel market, to delay and boycott the adoption of electric cars. And one of the reasons they wield is that so many electric cars will end up saturating the power grid. What is true about that?
The consumption of electric cars: goodbye to the myth
The analyst firm BloombergNEF has carried out an exhaustive study of the consumption of electric cars in the coming decades, and concludes that there is no cause for alarm. Electric vehicles will not saturate the global power grid.
The report, which comes to us via Business Insider, assures that even if in 2030 all new cars sold are electric, the demand for electricity in 2040 will only increase between 11 and 15%, something that the electricity networks can assume without problems, in the same way that they are now bearing the wasteful electrical expense of cryptocurrencies.
