3 Ways EVs are challenging Electric Grids

• Consumption Increases. national electric consumption estimate of 38% increase by 2050
• Grid Strains. whether EVs are an asset or liability to the grid will depend on WHEN EVs are charged
• Competing Findings.
  • A University of Texas at Austin study on impact of every switching to EV
  • UT Energy report
  • Department of Energy says electric production has increased while use has remained constant over the last decade.
  • DOE November report
