How does nuclear energy solve your problem when a huge faction of the US population says you can pry their ICE vehicles out of their cold, dead hands?
Also, when you do the full analysis, we only need a 10% bump in generation to accommodate every single US household have 2 EVs - and that's if they don't shift to charging at night and insist on charging during the day during peak load.
Add in the fact that the average US household can produce 50% of their power using solar power and you realize there's no need for any bump-out of generation at all.
Why promote nuclear with all of its attendant complications when you don't need to?
