Part 5/8:
A significant part of the discussion revolved around misconceptions about electricity supply, especially regarding electric vehicles (EVs). Nunan recounted speaking with a lawyer neighbor who suggested simply installing plug-in stations along highways. Nunan ridiculed this idea, emphasizing the necessity of an actual power source—namely, coal or other reliable energy plants—to generate the electricity needed.
"People think electricity comes out of space," he remarked. "If you haven't got a source from a power station, plugs on the highway are useless." His point underscored the flaw in the current push for EVs without ensuring a stable and scalable power grid.
