Electric cars will ruin late night listening?


My system sounds best late at night. I run passive conditioners. Everyone is a sleep, no one is running stoves, microwaves, A/C is running less, the transformers are working less. 5,10,20 years from now we all have electric cars. Everyone is fast a sleep with there electric cars plugged in for there 4 to 8 hour charge every night in my neighborhood,, my city, my state. What will this do to the sonics of our system or the quality of the power coming into our homes?

In developed countries your car will be electric and it will power your own house at  times of low renewable output or high demand. Once electric cars represent 30% of sales their price will ensure that IC engined vehicles will be for enthusiasts and the very rich. How long, not more than 10 years, could be a lot less. Remember a British government study in 1920 predicted that total UK sales of cars would never exceed 4000 per annum, their reasoning, there were not enough chauffeurs to create more demand.

I have a Tesla and often listen both when the car is charging and not charging.  I don't hear a single bit of difference either way.   Honestly, there are a lot of other potential noise sources but a charging car is not really one of them.

Another round of gaslight the “audiophiles”…..

Just another day here in Crazytown.

My "crazy town" uses overhead DC to power buses and until they stop for the night the tinnitus is screaming. Only then can I settle in for a listen.
