The required increase in power generation to transition to EVs is GREATLY exaggerated. Adding an EV to a household is let power intensive than when we added A/C decades ago.
The USA has been added an average 12 GW of distributed power generation per year between 2000 and 2020. Below are the EV power requirements from the DOE for their different EV adoption ratios. (High would be 95% EVs in 2050)
