		SECProto on May 6, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The grid isn’t ready for 300M EVs by 2030 I was curious about the "grid at 3x220" mention so I did some research. Couldn't find what you meant by this, but did find a page from the electric utility in Brussels explicitly saying there are no problems or work required by the EV conversion plans by 2030. https://www.sibelga.be/en/about-sibelga/projects-challenges/...

Parts of Belgium have 3 phase power with 220V between phases, and no neutral. And protective earth of course.

The rest of Europe has 230V, 3 phases + neutral, with 400V between phases.
