Singular or plural 'electrical loads'
I have the following sentence:
"The methods can be used with every kind of flexible electrical loads "
Should load be in singular or plural?By flexible electrical loads I am referring to e.g. electric vehicles, heat pumps, dishwashers
Consider another example: "We employ every kind of cook." The noun cook is generally a countable noun, yet it is used in the singular here.

Compare the simpler but parallel example 'every kind of car' and 'every kind of cars'. One is ungrammatical.
