   Religious people tend to have more babies, but the EV transition will   
   require more electric generation plants.   
      
   That said, I'm not aware of how much electric energy is involved in   
   the fuel system, from where fuel is purchased, to where it is refined.   
      
   When vehicles are refueled, an electric pump is required; a   
   convenience fuel stop may require 200 to 300 amp service.   
      
   I can't find specifics on a fuel dispensing pump, but maybe around a   
   1.5 hp (6 amps) electric pump is required.  There is a lot of wasted   
   electric energy being used to dispense petro fuel.   
      
   Homework Assignment -  How much electric energy is required to pump   
   fuel across US for gasoline powered vehicles?   
   Bonus points...for diesel vehicles.
