The Department of Energy estimated last year that the U.S. would need to expand its transmission infrastructure 60% by 2030 and triple its size by 2050 to meet climate goals.

According to an independent analysis by energy researcher Robert Bryce, at its current pace, it would take an estimated 282 years to triple the nation's transmission capacity. Like other energy projects and infrastructure development, transmission lines often face delays from environmental regulation and local opposition.

"It takes ten years just to get approvals to build some of these transmission lines

My words have always stated FORECAST and I often (too often?) refer to the FORECASTS that my company produces and supplies to multiple industries, companies, and governments.

Prediction is your word. Forecast is my word. I don’t predict, I forecast.

You are interpreting information from an independent researcher. I am talking to people actively involved in transforming the infrastructure. I assure you they aren’t tracking to Bryce’s 282 year timeline. You believe your guy, I’ll keep talking to my folks .

As someone else pointed out in this thread, you are speaking with authority about EVs and charging even though you have not had any firsthand experience with either. I have driven almost every EV currently available for sale in the US. I am in constant conversation with EV car companies (that’s how I drive their cars), EV charger manufacturers, utilities, government agencies, and battery suppliers. My opinions and forecasts are based on the data available through my company and the many interactions I have with people who are actually planning the future.

At the end of the day, I am not trying to convince anybody of anything. What I am trying to do is provide facts to help those in this thread who have an interest in knowing what is going on and why. Anybody reading what I post can and should take it in and review it through their own filters and draw their own conclusions.
