electric generating capacity is a non- issue

I know your type; in denial.

Back in 2009 my liberal brother-in-law was like you, hung-ho about the power industry and electric vehicles - he bet me $100 that in five years most vehicles on the road would be electric vehicles, and that gasoline-powered cars would soon disappear. In 2014 he welshed on the bet. He's been wrong on a number of things. It's 2017, and electric cars are still a fraction of vehicles on the road.

there is currently enough excess generating capacity in the US to recharge 40 million EVs every night

and that excess capacity is growing by 1% per year.
