EV Boom Could Overwhelm the Power Grid Soon

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that Tesla’s explosive growth could lead to EVs consuming as much electricity annually as New York City. Based on projected sales and market share, Tesla’s fleet could reach 14 million vehicles in under a decade. McIntyre stresses that while AI and air conditioning dominate energy concerns today, electric vehicles could soon rival them in power demand—posing a serious challenge to already-strained power grids.
