US electric demand is 4 trillion kWh per year. Moving to EVs alone will be about 1 trillion kWh more. And that is leaving out transport, building heat, and industrial use.

I suspect you are quoting an EV-only number.

Alternatively, you might be looking at how much electricity demand is expected to increase if we maintain our current trajectory and don’t aggressively decarbonize.
