-> "EV charging can be an important source of flexible electricity demand to enable use of larger amounts of variable solar and wind energy on the grid." - [Lori Bird](https://www.wri.org/blog/2019/11/4-emerging-ways-pair-electric-vehicles-and-renewable-energy)+> "EV charging can be an important source of flexible electricity demand to enable use of larger amounts of variable solar and wind energy on the grid." - Lori Bird

-Downsides to electric vehicles include the fact that they're more expensive (see below), but as with most things, prices will fall as uptake increases; and secondly, the market is controlled by the [corporate](/thde/the_democracy_problem), [growth](/stea/steady-state_economics)\-oriented world - something that we believe is inherently unsustainable (and undemocratic). At least the energy for EVs can potentially be generated locally from renewable sources, and doesn't have to be in the hands of giant oil companies. There are even books on how to build your own EV (see further resources), and so maybe manufacture can become more local and small-scale in future.+Downsides to electric vehicles include the fact that they're more expensive (see below), but as with most things, prices will fall as uptake increases; and secondly, the market is controlled by the [corporate](/demo/democracy), [growth](/stea/steady-state_economics)\-oriented world - something that we believe is inherently unsustainable (and undemocratic).
