That would be interesting information. I'll take a stab at an answer, based on this EIA graph: http://www.eia.gov/beta/MER/index.cfm?tbl=T02.01#/?f=A=21 Overall, it shows that commercial uses about 80% the amount of residential (this is a visual interpretation). The figure, from EIA,

Overall, the electricity use will remain the same or rise a small amount. Many studies have shown this. 1) Compact fluorescent and LED bulbs as well as the move toward other more efficient household appliances will tend to counteract the added load of EVs on the grid. 2) EV's tend to

Well, it's not that bad. ICE cars are, perhaps, 20% efficient and EVs around 80%. So you would divide your number by 4. Peri -- Original Message -- From: "Ben Goren via EV" To: "Robert Bruninga" ; "Electric Vehicle Discussion List"

I assume that most EVs in the UK would be charged overnight at home. Doesn't the UK have the same situation as the USA with there being a large surplus of power at night, and shortages only happen during the daytime? Widespread EV use is generally found to *help* the grid, by leveling power
