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?

In the not too distant future, the charging cycle (time of day) will get inverted.

 

As more solar/wind capacity comes on line you will get to plug your car in for a charge everywhere…while out shopping, at the office, just sitting there parked, for little to no $$$. I made a small investment in a startup that is researching ways for the paint (wrap or coating) on a car to be photovoltaic. (Proof of concept prototype is operational). With proper and improved photovoltaic efficiency someday, as the tech comes along, one could potentially drive a certain contant speed from coast to coast without stopping. Of course, I only need an hour of range (and a 10 minutes recharge window) since I always travel with my wife and we stop frequently.

 

There will be a day very soon where cars actually power the grid from dusk til dawn and recharges during the daytime.

Nope. You just showed the world you know nothing about physics.

Now I just solved the world's problems.

 I need a truck and Tesla quit counting how many they pre sold at 750,000. How long will I have to wait! Also, why wouldn't you be able to charge the battery while it's running, a generator could turn while the motor is spinning and keep the batteries charged indefinitely. Now I just solved the world's problems. 
 

 

Quit trying to use logic to fix a problem.

There is something poetic in spelling asleep the way you do.

Everyone is a sleep

There might not be a need to plug into the wall the way lithium ion battery advancement is going.

Do you have an O-scope?

Teslas plugged in have to sound quieter than the brap-brap-whoosh of a car going down the road sound like an A-10 on a straffing run.

I haven't bought into electrical demand as the cause of enjoyable late night listening.  There are a lot of things that affect the electrical system but more demand doesn't equal more noise.  I'm willing to listen to arguments why but a layman's gut feel that it makes sense doesn't go far with me.
