A federal push for more electric vehicles could put a strain on Virginia's electric grid.
The video from PBS discusses the potential impact of a surge in electric vehicles (EVs) on Virginia's electrical grid. As EV adoption increases, particularly in Northern Virginia, there is a growing concern about whether the current infrastructure can handle the additional load. The video highlights that while EVs offer environmental benefits, their widespread use could strain the grid, especially during peak demand times. Experts suggest that utilities and policymakers need to plan for increased capacity and possibly implement smart charging solutions to manage the load effectively. The video also touches on the efforts by Dominion Energy to prepare for this shift, including investments in grid modernization and renewable energy sources to accommodate the rising number of EVs.
