A controversial new video is sparking heated debates online. The creator of the video claims to have discovered the “truth” about electric cars, claiming that each power plant consumes the equivalent energy of 280 homes. every hour. That’s a pretty bold statement, isn’t it? is it accurate We present both sides of this argument and let you draw your own conclusions.
Popular X account”Wall Street Apes” shared the controversial video and had this to say:
The truth about electric cars. Each individual charging station uses the equivalent power of 280 households every hour 🚨
If all chargers in a station are used, the energy used is equivalent to 1,080 households every hour
“I think I’m just doing a quick little video here just to give people an idea of how much power it takes to charge an electric vehicle. I’m at Electrify America. This is a 350 kilowatt station. I’m drawing about 137 kilowatts. It will fluctuate . Sometimes I can get up to 350. But to put that into perspective, an average house uses 1.25 kilowatts per hour. 135 kilowatts per hour. That’s like the equivalent of 106 homes on the grid, just this station. Now, if I were to get the 350 kilowatts they can supply, that would be the equivalent of 280 homes.
Now consider the six chargers operating at full capacity. That’s like 1,080 homes on the network.
Just something to think about. It’s things that people don’t realize how much power it takes to quickly charge these batteries. That’s a huge amount of electricity. And now you understand why the power companies can’t even supply that much power to one point. It’s like thinking about 1600 homes and how much copper and wire would be needed to supply that many homes. So yeah, it’s great. Someone else just entered and yes, there are 280 more homes on the network as soon as they enter. So just some food for thought. I love my electric vehicle. They are great. They’re cool, but it’s something people don’t really think about.
I teach my script. They are great cars. I like them very much. So you forget about scope and all that. I’m just talking about what it takes to charge one. It’s a ridiculous amount of money. well Now I’m around a hundred. So that’s like a hundred houses right there. One hundred and twenty kilowatts because one point two one kilowatts per hour is what a house uses. So yes.
They’ve got to figure something out because having every car in America on the grid, it’s going to be… I don’t even know what those numbers would be. Well, just food for thought. And I thought I’d talk about it while I’m sitting here charging, waiting. It’s something else. I have to wait here for 30 minutes. And sometimes, electrify America.
Half of these chargers are broken. Or I think they are limiting them because the grid can’t even handle it. So I think that’s what’s going on. I do not know. But like, for example, this one here didn’t work. So yes, it doesn’t seem to be available. You know, there. This is usually the case. So either you’re waiting in line for someone or half of these chargers don’t even work. And no, I’m not complaining. Maybe it seems to me. But it’s a problem and we hope they fix it. And where does the electricity come from at night? It is not solar. And I don’t know You guys can comment and vent all you want. I just wanted to show you what it looks like and give you a little idea of how much power is used. Okay, we’ll talk later.

Community Notes has rated this post, noting that the “math” is incorrect. They highlight a discrepancy between the amount of energy needed to charge a battery and the power needed to drain it.
The message does not address the difference between kW and kWh.
kW is a unit of power, while kWh is a unit of energy.
To calculate how much energy is needed to charge an electric vehicle, multiply the time needed by the power used.
The irony of this argument is that while the left is debating energy hours and figures, it thinks it is saving the planet. However, their precious “green” energy actually comes from coal or diesel power plants. The madness of the “climate cult” knows no bounds. No matter how you slice it, the result may vary slightly, but it’s still a piece of the same pie. The world is being duped with this “Green New Deal” nonsense. Wind farms are decimating wildlife, electric cars suck energy like a vacuum on steroids, discarded solar panels are piling up in landfills, and lithium battery production is leading to a distressing rise in child slave labor. The only truly “green” aspect of this new deal seems to be the wealth flowing into the pockets of the elite. Meanwhile, the rest of us suffer.
