I'm talking about most electric utility grids. Most are in dire need of upgrading, and just about none were built with huge peaking loads in mind when they were designed.

If a customer would come to the utility and say "I need service and expect a typical load of 1 MW" that would require a lot of prep and a ton of money depending on where they wanted to be located. Add to that this particular "customer" (EV chargers) have completely random load curves going from near 0 to 100% at a moments notice with no schedule? We would be talking major, MAJOR upgrades needed to infrastructure and even then, they would be subject to the same demand charges like any other customer, costing $1000's a month to just be ready to serve, and would never pencil out with the very few Taycan's that could be in the area.
