ETDA Presentation Notes - Karl Lewis of Gridpoint: "assuming 25% of cars on the grid were plugin by 2020 then we would need an additional 160 large power plants in the US to manage on-peak charging vs. 0-8 if off-peak charging were used. We have enough capacity to power 100 million electric vehicles today if we manage charging correctly. We have more than enough capacity, we need to make the cars themselves 'grid aware' to manage that capacity successfully. Average EV power consumption is ~10kWh [daily]."
