My point is that 15% is still 15% even it represents the population of Estonia or of a suburb of NY.
By the way you are mixing everything. I talk about private transport and you give me the figure for total energy consumption... Total energy consumption is not going to increase!!! The petrol burnt in an engine is already counted. Because of all the loss due to the pathetic yield of IEC engines, your are not going to increase the total energy consumption but decrease it when you will electrify transport.
For Switzerland electrification of all private transport represent the addition of 2 nuclear reactors, so no nothing to write home about regarding sizing of the grid.

So? Why can't you make the next logical step? If it's a 17% increase for Switzerland, then it will be at in the same ballpark much for all other countries, won't it? Then an increase for Germany will be probably as much as two Switzerlands etc.

I'm not. I'm just pointing the flaws in the insistence that "it's not even an engineering challenge"
> For Switzerland electrification of all private transport represent the addition of 2 nuclear reactors
Ah yes. It's just such an easy not an egineering challenge to do.
Switzerland built and put online 3 reactors in 6 years between 1965 and 1971, so yes it's a proven fact that's it's technically easy.
Now from a political point of view that's another issue.
