By the „energy output“ I mean the insufficient capacity of power stations in the US and pretty much everywhere else. In the US is sold 17 million light vehicles each year. Assuming 30% penetration, it would be 5.6 million new EVs. That translates into 16 800 GWh of electricity consumption (assuming 12k miles annually and 0.25kWh per mile travelled) each year. To put it into a perspective, 1000 MW nuclear block will produce at best approximately half of that. It takes at minimum 10 years to build a nuclear power station and we need one each year…  

The only reasonable conclusion is, that electrification of the light vehicle fleet in the US is quite a bullshit idea, no matter how one slices it. Unless of course we take all that oil and burn it in the power stations to power all those “green cars”. All, I am hoping for is that LAC reach $40/share sooner, than too many people realise this simple fact :-).
