I’m wondering where the power to charge electric aircraft will come from ?

As the California experience has recently proven, there is not enough power to run the state, let alone charge electric cars. How will adding the high power requirements of electric aircraft recharging be met ?

There are ball park figures that say to fast charge a Tesla is the equivalent of adding the power draw of two average western homes to the power system. What will a fleet of electric aircraft draw from the power grid ? Who will pay for the extra power ‘stations’ and grid requirements of them electric aircraft ?
