By "easy to charge" I mean easy for the consumer. One of the selling points of EV's is that charging at home is easier than stopping at the gas station.

Since this article is about the possibility of red staters learning to like EV's, I didn't account for "green energy". Sure there are some red states that tried the "green energy" thing (i.e. Texas). But for the most part, when red states were forced to shut down some coal plants we shifted to depending more on natural gas fueled power plants. So we've shifted from one dependable fossil fuel to another dependable fossil fuel (although Brandon's doing his best to make natural gas both hard to come by and too expensive).

But that still doesn't account for the extra demand on the grid the EV's will bring (that is, if red stater's start liking EV's). So IMHO, "green" energy isn't an issue among most red staters' choice of whether or not to get an EV.
