Huh?

Are you not cooking?

Our stove needs 1kw and our oven has 6kw.

It's not crashing when everyone is cooking why would it crash when everyone is charging?

Also it costs more (energy wise) to make H and then consume it than using the energy itself. This should probably has a relevant cost saving.

Economy of scale will bring much cheaper batteries very soon. Let's say 10-20 years

Cooking is super bursty, and at variable times, and for short durations. And even then, varies by day.

It's not at all the same as everyone on planet earth in the same hemisphere trying to charge their cars during peak summer AC time, between 4 and 6ish pm.

Either you charge over night than you can charge slow and steady ( I did this at my parents house a few times with 800watts or so, which is not a lot) or at work where you already can have smart charging.

Independent of this, plenty of counties use energy to heat (consumes a lot) or have ac which also pulls a lot.

Ev charging is estimated with 10% additional load on a power grid. That's doable.

Is it a challenge? Yes. In one place more than in another place

Why do you keep parroting this nonsense? Virtually nobody charges their car at this time

I don't see how it's nonsense. Everyone keeps saying 'at night', but more realistically for most people, when they get home from work.
