That's more related to the the calculation from my statement a bit back up the comment tree:
> it was about 43,000 GWh/y for CA (15m cars * .24 KWh/m * 12,000 annual miles). For reference CA has a yearly electricity generation capacity of just under 200k GWH/y.
But the numbers I posted that you're directly referring to are still important, as they indicate the need for improved electrical infrastructure for individual buildings who may want to put in chargers. Your grocery stores, apartments, motels, etc.
If just one 18kW charger can double demand on a motel's power, what happens when you add ten? Twenty?
