There are currently around 1.7 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads, and some estimates suggest that number will be up to 26.4 million by 2030 .
A typical EV requires around 3,857 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.
That’s 2.5% of what the grid produced in 2020 , but 7% of energy that went to residential usage.
There are already EV chargers that can be set up to only charge at certain times of the day , when power is a little more freely available, and thus less expensive.
There’s another way that EVs may not only lessen the strain on the power grid, but help fortify and improve it.
Currently, EV owners commonly charge their cars at night when they get home from work.
With the right setup, an electric vehicle could help power some or all of a home in the event of a power outage.
