  1. For the draw limitation claimed in this video, EV chargers located near each other would have to communicate with each other, or this is some current monitoring device that sends "throttle back" instructions to the chargers. I've not heard of such a thing, and that is not how electricity generation works. When appliances are installed, there has to be installation of sufficient feed capacity. If you are naughty and exceed the capability of the electricity authority's local substation, a simple thing happens - you trip the overload circuit breaker in that substation and everybody gets nothing. That is essential to protect the substation equipment and for safety. It is no different to installing extra outlets in your house. You can hire an electrician to do that, but he has to calculate the total demand. If the demand exceeds what your switchboard can handle, he has to upgrade that. If somehow you manage to get planning approval and construct high drain commercial premises in a residential street, and the electricity authority's distribution won't handle it, they just say you get nothing until they have time to upgrade. In my street, an old area of single level houses, the council has began approving construction of high rise apartments, thus increasing electrical drain by 2000%. The land developer was required to pay the electricity company to construct new substations to meet that demand on time. Existing home owners don't get their electricity rationed. Why should EV chargers be treated any different? I am not a fan of EV's, but the problem described in this video is a non-problem. Electricity companies have been coping with locallised large increases in demand since electricity distribution began 120 years ago.
