What about our fragile power grid that can barely handle air conditioners?


This one is my absolute favorite, and you nailed the gorilla in the room. The amount of KW’s needed to power a car are staggering compared to every other electric need we have. Now, sure, we can all say that the higher electric bill is justified since we’re no longer buying gas, but the grid itself can’t handle a sudden doubling (or more) of electricity use.

It’s kinda comical. ELectric cars only work if only a very small part of the population uses them. As long as gas is cheap, this is going nowhere in the US. In Europe, where it is much easier to control the lemmings, anything is possible. And they get to be our canary in the coal mine. :)

Yea like my light bill will be lower than my gasoline bill.
I pay like 25 bucks a week on gas, electric cars are supposed to be a lot cheaper so i should expect my light bill to go up at most 50 dollars a month.....yea right.
