These kind of charging currents are nuts. The infrastructure was never built for it. Most incoming fuses here in the UK are 100 amp which is 24 kw. No one ever uses near that. Not even for just a few minutes. Imagine EVs at any more than say a 20 percent market share and the entire grid would collapse. How can you possibly transfer all the energy provided by oil down a wire because thats exactly what it is.

@melissasmess2773 yeh double the current because it's half the voltage though I know they use 220 on things like aircon. UK on average use 12 to 15 kWh a day. We pay on average £0.25 kWh. It's double what it was a few years ago.

@steveinoz8188 they would have their own substations with an incoming voltage of 33kv. I mean you don't think they'd operate at 240 volts do you. Thing is it's not just the ability for the grid to supply the current. It's the cable size to have that kind of current at a low voltage. Remember, Amps x volts= watts. The higher the voltage the more watts the cable can carry.

@steveinoz8188 batteries? Are you kidding? How long do you think a battery would supply a smelting plant? I think you need a basic understanding of electricity supply.

@Stepbystep74 I do understand how smart meters work. That's precisely why I would never have one. Do you really want more complex billing structures? Like it being more expensive at peak times when your cooking a meal? Sorry, I don't want that kind of control in my life thanks. Don't believe the hype. No one is thinking about your benefits. Funny how you think I don't understand how smart meters work. You clearly don't understand their purpose. Someone needs to wake up.

@DanTheCox Absolutely right. Glad someone knows what's going on!

@Stepbystep74 you seem to have deleted your original post on smart meters (?). This subject has nothing to do with capitalism but robbing you of everything youve got has nothing to do with capitalism. You have to look at the history of things like the federal reserve and the banking system. If you think that you're going to benefit from a smart meter, think again. You dont need a smart meter if you have solar and battery. The 2 aren't related. I dont disagree that if you have solar and battery it can be a good option if you have the kind of house that lends itself to it but the majority of the population neither have the money, space or indeed own their own homes so it only benefits the better off and when you upscale this even further, the landowners who have solar and wind on their land make massive amounts, you could say off the backs of ordinary people. As i said, ill never have a smart meter. Oh and they can be turned off.
