trust me, bro:

here is the receipt.

the claim

There is not enough electricity to power all vehicles in the United States if they were electric

the verdict

CONTESTED

the evidence cuts both ways

confidence 44/100

While studies show that fully electrifying the U.S. vehicle fleet would substantially increase peak electricity demand and strain current grid infrastructure, researchers note that these challenges can be managed through smart charging, energy storage, and grid modernization rather than an absolute shortage of generation capacity.
