Oh, didn't cross my mind. I think you are right and I probably misinterpreted the comment. My brain went straight to it being about running out of power and causing jams, probably because it was such a common fear with regards to EVs (and still is to an extent, CC Bill Gates and Porsche/Tesla in 2020).
It was just a teasing comment about these devil's advocate style of comments being non-sensical and counter productive, and often in favor of some incumbent which normally receives pretty fair criticisms.
I'm sorry, GGP.
