The entire power grid is infinitely flexible to whatever you feed it with. My point is that today you can feed your car 15 gallons of gas or feed the grid 19 gallons of gas to make the electricity. For the near term any "green" energy available can easily be absorbed by other than car charging so we don't need a bunch of Teslas to use what green energy we have, we have plenty of other needs. When we're supplying near 100% of our non-transportation needs with non-fossil fuel energy then I'll buy an EV.
