Dutch power grid can't handle influx of electric car charging points | NL Times

"...The growing demand for electric vehicles and accompanying charging stations is quickly overloading the power grid, grid operators confirmed to the broadcaster.

According to Rutger Croon of ElaanNL, the power grid in some 3,000 neighborhoods won’t have room for more charging stations within the next three years. 

...Grid operator Stedin also told BNR that the government must invest heavily in the rollout of smart charging “otherwise the grid will be too crowded.” 

The other option is to upgrade the power grid. 

“But that costs a lot of money and is a social choice. So we’d rather not do that.”..."
