Too little and too late. Draconian measures are necessary to push automakers into compliance and to push consumers to buy. It's expensive unless we want to sell out to China completely, but necessary and in the end, affordable.

BEVs are like the best consumers imaginable for our grids. Their owners get hourly contracts and perfectly time their charging when the prices are low helping stabilize the grid.
Some even grid companies even support adding cars charging to the ancillary markets further increasing grid reliability - while also paying the BEV owners for their service.
Taking in the supply chain from producing oil, refining it and transporting it the change in electricity consumption is negigible because especially the refining step is quite electricity intensive.
But if no refining happens in a market then something like a 20-30% increase in electricity usage is expected.
Please do tell me how that entails a "collapse"?
Most of the world is playing catch up with Norway (97% EV market share) - if their grid will handle the transition then it is possible. If it will not then others will prepare better.
Of course not at all engaging with the point about BEVs acting like demand response for a grid. Scheduling their charging to not add more load when the grid is already strained, unless forced to do so due to e.g. being on a roadtrip without possibility of timing the charging and therefore paying a premium for expensive electricity.
All in all I see a lot of hand waving and little substance.
Did you miss the portion where on average the refinement of raw crude to gasoline/diesel is neutral in terms of electricity usage compared to just driving a BEV?
A typical commute of 50km/day at 20kWh/100km means you have to put 10kWh into you car (per day). A 230V outlet can deliver 3,7kW at 16A, so your car would be topped up again after about 3h.
Tesla Supercharger prizes at 20kWh/100km are in the same ball park as Diesel at 5l/100km. Charging at home should approach half that, and charging with PV will amount to <2€/100km.
He is an anti-nuclear troll, randomly posting nonsense about nuclear everywhere he goes. It's always emotionally driven bullshit, crafted to create a reaction.
Just google his pseudo. I wouldn't be surprised if he was sponsored by a foreign agency to destabilize political discourse. Considering he is from Sweden, the potential of Russian influence isn't negligible.
In any case, whatever he says, is at best, extremely idealistic and based on wishful thinking about the true capabilities of renewables (we are still waiting on reliable and cost-effective storage, if that's even possible at scale for European weather patterns).
You truly are completely out of your depth here. As evidenced by your previous attempt [1] where you didn't know that China so far has finished 0 reactors in 2025.
