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?

Power around here is pretty reliable, although I don't know how quiet it is. I used to have a Furman power conditioner that displayed the line voltage, which was always around 117-121 vAC, except late at night when our Tesla was charging, at which point it would drop to 113 or so. No effect on sound quality to my ear. |

Have solar. Have an electric car. Have to say can’t hear any difference when car plugged in be it day or night. Have to get off my large a$$ and get on my knees and be thankful for this largess.
OP if you have dirty power that’s easy enough to treat. Temperatures in Antarctica reach 70 degrees warmer than normal is a real problem and why EV’s (that are 20% plastic) are not such a torment.

Sometimes I think we spend more time listening for and obsessing about noise than we do listening to music. I live in sunny hot AZ where everyone has large power hungry HVAC units. I also have one that, in the summer, day and night, runs most of the time. I also have a house full of LED lights. Neither the large HVAC nor the LEDs seem to have any effect on the sound of my system; pretty sure that charging an electric car will not create a noise problem.....Jim |
