Electric vehicles would only add 15% of new electricity demand to the global grid in the worst 2040 caseThe BloombergNEF energy research project has run its EV electricity demand forecasts, and came up with two possible scenarios for the new load they will add to our collective networks.With the stated 2030 electrification goal by most major legacy automakers, however, that number is bound to exponentially rise, but not as much as feared.The so-called Net Zero scenario assumes that virtually all commercial transportation methods are electrified by then - cars, buses, trucks, and others - but the breakdown differs quite drastically by region.In Europe, which is at the forefront of sustainable energy production and consumption, electric vehicles would add 22% of new electricity demand in 2040, says the report, while in places like China they will only add half that amount.Needless to say, Bloomberg's analysts still advise to carefully plan out the nationwide EV charging networks like the one Biden's administration set aside US$7.5 billion for, and also to spread out charging away from peak hours."
