Electric cars will ruin late night listening?


My system sounds best late at night. I run passive conditioners. Everyone is a sleep, no one is running stoves, microwaves, A/C is running less, the transformers are working less. 5,10,20 years from now we all have electric cars. Everyone is fast a sleep with there electric cars plugged in for there 4 to 8 hour charge every night in my neighborhood,, my city, my state. What will this do to the sonics of our system or the quality of the power coming into our homes?

Bugsnest, I don’t think power conditioners help DC in your lines, they may but it didn’t help me.
 

I have a Running Springs Dmitri, Hayley and PI Audio Uberbuss and tried them all when I had a mechanical transformer hum on a Conrad Johnson amp. I had to send amp in for a replacement in 30 day period. The new amp had no hum so my problem may not have been DC in my line.

 

If you have DC in your line you can try a Van Alstine Humdinger DC line blocker $140. That was next move if new amp still had hum.

It was a joke in a serious way. I had to bring a amp to the house of the guy that works on my gear. He had a guy build a house next to him and they had to start to share the same transformer and said his electricity voltage started to fluctuate and felt he now had DC in his line because his tube amp started to get a mechanical hum. He mentioned when everybody in the future has there electric cars plugged in  at night what will that do to our quality of power. I had never even considered that and thought it would be interesting what everyone here would say to this one. I know some don’t agree that there system sounds better at night and I understand that but at my house does sound better late into the night. You would think if cars are charging at night it would affect my power, right?
