What is the source of the electricy? Magic electron pixies? Odds are that the majority of the elctricity is coming from burning fossil fuels. How is this “green” in the eyes of the ecomentalists? Will not the increase in the vehicles increase demand for electricity?

They don't see things in the long picture.. They are going to have to allow more Nuclear Power Plants to be built..

Also how are they going to charge the consumer for the charging station??? By the kilowatt???

Your questions are spot on, but one of the things the utilities like about this is presence of a whole lot of battery capacity they might be able to draw on for the minutes-long periods between when "renewables" (solar and wind) drop down and they have to fire up some other generation, rather than keeping some of the latter spinning all the time.

Likely this would have to be done by contract with the car owner, for the promise of lower rates, and for periods short enough that the car owner never notices.

It’s SOMETHING, OK?
Isn’t that all that matters?
