10 years down the line, problem with ESB infrastructure at home??

davidivad · 2024-01-31 13:14:36

In 10 years time, 2034, every typical family has 2 electric vehicles, both with 100 kw batteries. Both parents want to charge the car at night, both chargers working together only produce 3.5kw/hour to the car. After 10 hours both cars are topped up by 35kw. Is there not going to be an issue here, will ESB not need to…

Yes, just quick maths: 100 kWh car has approx. range of up to 500 km.
Charged fully every day that would be 180k km per year. Even if you only charged for 9 hours a night at 7 kW that's still best part of 100000 km a year, split in whatever way between the multiple cars.
