Something else that nobody in the government seems to be talking about is what the impact on the grid is going to be if 100,000 Volt buyers all come home between 5:30 to 6:30 every night and start trying to recharge their batteries.

Bottom line is that in many areas of the country, the existing electric grids are already maxed out (as evidenced by some of the brown outs of past years). Wonder what a massive number of electric cars all drawing 220V will do?

$10B allocated to building a Smart Grid beginning next year but that is not anywhere close to what it will ultimately cost to rectify even the current challenges, let alone adding load imposed by increasing numbers of electric vehicles.
