    I didn’t say they lost half but they lost 20% so you need to have at least 120% today and then you need to account for the fact that you will get more electric devices in the future. How are you going to charge your electric car if you don’t have the electric to do it? So therefore you should probably double it.

        Sure, the usage hasn’t changed on average in about 20 years, but in the next 20 years, it’s definitely going to increase dramatically.

            Yes, if the vast majority of cars are going to be electric in 20 years, you are definitely going to need a lot more power in order to charge them.

              Then let’s get some vehicle-to-grid adoption going and make EVs a net benefit for spreading load better.
