This all looks great on paper, but think about the electrical infrastructure this country as a whole will have to develop in order for this to happen.

Our current power grids are outdated because we just don't have to production facilities available to handle what we are currently using. California has to beg for excess electricity from other states to keep them from a total black out. There are other areas like California with the same problem.

It's not like we can easily crank up the knobs and just plug in more equipment here.

Oh but if only I could. In a reasonable vehicle, of course. Seems that the closer I get to 500 hp, the farther I get from 500 mpg. :)
