I recently read through this and was just curious what others thought the pitfalls or unforseen issues might be with quickly or steadily transitioning to such in a fairly environmentally friendly manner.

Hate the title name, but I think I have to use the article title as the title.

    No, all three grids US don’t have the power to support most cars becoming electric atm. Heck, on the west coast they occasionally have controlled blackouts because there’s not always enough power as it is. The Texas grid, while having some flaws, would probably be the most agile to be modified on a dime. The US east and west grid need to deal with the US Feds, US States, Canadian Feds, and Canadian provinces and would probably take more time to modernize.
