This is an important piece of the puzzle, but the rest of the grid isn’t ready for this. There needs to be a way to deal with sudden massive loads in order to cope with charging significant numbers of vehicles. Obvious issues with transmission line and transformer capacity, but the bigger issue is dispatching generation to big loads without having a schedule. Most power sources can’t ramp up/down enough other than hydro and small gas turbines.

Maybe DC is the way
