Regarding the grid - are you talking about the US grid? The UK grid have said they can deal with EVs with no problems even for the super chargers. The plan is to have a large battery that charges the cars and the grid charges the battery so there are no spikes.
The grid should have no problem with EV charging (the UK grid says they haven't). The fast chargers are to supply the cars from battery which is charged by the grid at an even rate so not creating spikes.
Because some bastard has move the Jetstream out of our path, we in the UK have had heavy snow (compared to our normal "virtually no snow in winter" and not to US or Canada levels) in the past few weeks and apparently due some more soon.
How many of those studies saw the rapid growth of solar and wind solutions and the potential of interconnected microgrids dealing with home/business solar with battery storage. Quite a lot of people still haven't realised that charging EVs can become part of the microgrid storage and can be temporarily tapped into for any peaks. If the current utilities got their fingers out of their collective arses, they could also tap into excess home solar power generation and save themselves the cost of producing it.
i think he mean "trash" literally as a lot of trash we produce gets sent to places like China to be dealt with (but no longer - China decided not to take any more junk throw away by the west)
once the ever increasing solar powered homes with battery storage and on-charge EV batteries join the grid via local microgrids that "fortune" diminishes. Its a one off cost for the person who buys it. There is always a mistaken assumption that there should only be centralised power storage, its about time people stop thinking every solution must be a silver bullet solution.
"A combination of all power types would be good in the correct situations." - yes, that will happen.
the argument gets polarised, the fossil supporters use the argument that the transition from fossil to renewable can't happen overnight so that means it won't work. e.g. what happens when the sun doesn't shone or the wind doesn't blow. They just don't realise it'll take years for renewables to become the major power source even though the pace seems to be getting faster and faster, they seem to forget how long it took coal power stations and the grid to cover the country. Patience is not a virtue for some people
not necessarily. once more EVs are sold and charged at home, they can become part of the grid backup plan. same as once more homes have solar with battery backup, they also become part of the grid. (all via linked and local microgrids which link to the main grid)
why not paint them in self cleaning paint that Nissan announced a few years ago? presumably the water running off the paint will clear the sensors at the same time
Germany also has long term goals for its industry whereas a lot of the US/UK companies seem to operate on very short term targets to suit the current directors bonuses so do not really plan for the future as they won;t be there to see the fallout
it is the best way to measure otherwise you abdicate your personal responsibility to make changes and not be so wasteful and expect everyone else to change
they have to do something to help in any small way until they can stop burning of fossil fuels. In 60 years time the fossil burners days may be long gone.

Luddite!! :)
Renault, Nissan etc seem to be quite profitable.

how much energy does it take to refine oil compared with batteries?
maybe because then you could be automatically billed monthly based on car usage/mileage? It would save having to build toll gates etc

just how well are your properties insulated? a well insulated property shouldn't have much temperature fluctuation whether that be heat or cold.

are you talking ice coverage and/or ice thickness?

not always. When in traffic you should be monitoring the cars in front of you (preferably 2 -3 cars in front) so you can anticipate braking etc
academic excellence does not necessarily mean you are smart at anything else other than those subjects.
it is the best way to measure otherwise you abdicate your personal responsibility to make changes and not be so wasteful and expect everyone else to change
i'm positive this scenario completely escaped them, you'd better get on the phone and warn them and sharpish
