Wow! Technology geeks everywhere are telling us that electrifying our world will make life better for the human race and Mother Earth. The most visible effort for mass electrification is for everyone to own an electric automobile or truck. In my world, there is now movement to produce electric airplanes. Oh, what a wonderful world it will be when we modernize travel with these magnificent electric vehicles. But wait, not so fast! Maybe, just maybe, we need to slow things down and rethink the broader implications of this new electric powered world. I have some questions for every electricity provider in North America. In your service area, is the present neighborhood electrical infrastructure sufficient to handle the increased electrical load of hundreds of electric vehicles? If not, what will it cost to upgrade every neighborhood to accommodate the increased demand? Will your company be able to obtain the power necessary to support charging all the electric vehicles that might end up in your service area? Today, does North America even have the total electrical capacity to add charging millions of new electric vehicles?
