An average EV averages far less power than an average 2kW space heater over time. A 2kW space heater used just 12 hours a day uses the same power per day as 4 mile per kWh EV driven 35,000 miles per year. Many space heaters see more than 12h/day of use but 35k miles per year is extremely rare. EV’s are like microwaves, they use a lot of power when on but the grid cares about average load across millions of them not what’s happening in any one home. |

“The battery size for a Tesla Model 3 ranges from 50 kWh to 82 kWh” that would give the largest a range of 20 miles.
Ev-database.org says they use 151Wh/km which is about 240Wh/mile.
