That's where you're wrong, my friend. It comes out of the wall.

And, there will have to be significant enhancements to the grid to handle the additional load of a significant amount of the fleet going electric. Another thing to consider is what happens when there is an earthquake or an ice storm or a hurricane and there is no electricity for a week or more? I suppose everything comes to a screeching halt.

And big coal will be put out of business, a campaign promise from BHO. Electric rates will skyrocket - the Volt will enter the dustbin of history before leaving the showroom. Dumb bastards!
