We hear often how EV charging will overtax our electric grid. I got to wondering how that compares to crypto mining. I found one source, Market Source which said:
With only 2 million EVs on the road, EVs would consume approximately 7.9 billion kWh annually or less than 1% of the US electric production of 3,980 billion kWh. That seems relatively small in comparison to data centers consuming roughly 73 billion kWh or crypto-mining including Bitcoin at 91 billion kWh. That’s incredible- even more so that crypto mining uses more power than data centers. Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
