Is there enough electricity for electric cars?

I personally love driving an electric car, but I’m just one driver in a neighborhood where most people still drive gas-powered cars. We’ve never had any issue getting enough electricity to charge my car, but I worry that won’t always be the case if everyone has one. Is there enough electricity for electric cars?

The short answer is yes, there is enough electricity to power
electric cars
even if every car was electric.
While most developed nations will be fine to accommodate electric cars, it will require some time and money invested into maintaining and updating the electrical grid.
A switch to EVs isn’t going to happen overnight, but steps are already being made to make the world’s power sources cleaner, greener, and more efficient. Investments like the
$5 billion allocated towards EV charging network infrastructure
is just one piece of a larger puzzle toward building a more eco-friendly future.
