You have to differentiate GW (instantaneous power) and GWh (energy delivered in 1 hour). A 1 GW power plant generates 1 GWh per hour of operation and so on.
Your 400 million cars of 100kWh battery capacity charged once per week will require 40,000 GWh (40,000,000 MWh). A 1GW (1,000MW) power station running at 100% capacity factor will p…
You have to differentiate GW (instantaneous power) and GWh (energy delivered in 1 hour). A 1 GW power plant generates 1 GWh per hour of operation and so on.
Your 400 million cars of 100kWh battery capacity charged once per week will require 40,000 GWh (40,000,000 MWh). A 1GW (1,000MW) power station running at 100% capacity factor will produce 168 GWh (168,000 MWh) in a week. So the absolute minimum generating capacity needed would be 238 x 1GW power stations (nuclear or otherwise).
An EV charging at home uses ~7kW (same as a reasonably high powered electric shower) so a 1GW power station can charge ~143,000 cars simultaneously and the 238 x 1GW power stations could charge 34 million simultaneously. It will take ~14 hours at 7kW to deliver 100KWh.
But as you and others have pointed out, they are not living in fantasy land. This is simple, basic physics meets economics, arithmetic and supply & demand. Politicians understand very well that they are doing the bidding of those to whom they report, the globalist cabal through a few benign sounding organisations like the UN, WHO and WEF etc. They know perfectly well that the numbers don’t work but that doesn’t matter in a controlled media world because what are you, the ordinary person, going to do about it? Nothing. Perhaps vote for the other guy who will be the same as the first guy.
Let’s not leave open the door that politicians and government officials make and have made mistakes. None of this is a mistake, it is all 100% planned and intentional. It is about complete, irreversible power, wealth and subjugation of the common man by a tiny group of so called elites.

Yes, I realized that I did conflate GWh with GW - I updated the article to reflect that!
Thanks to Igor for pointing it out!
So we would need to build hundreds of nuclear power plants just to support all the electric cars.
The politicians pushing this stuff are living in fantasy land really.

Well, I'm still not sure whether its pure incompetence or deliberate malice. It's hard to tell.
But sure, people like Klaus Schwab are definitely not incompetent.
