It takes baby steps to get where we'd like to be. I'm sitting here typing on a small Macbook with more computing power than acres of mainframes from 50 years ago.

Unlike the technology of computers, the physics of propelling a vehicle haven't changed in last 50 years.

The power needed to propel one MD-80 with 110 passengers on board is 60 Megawatts, enough to completely power a town of 50,000 people.

A electric car has similar eye popping electricity requirement, when compared to your Lights, TV and even your A/C in the summer.

Consider the investment in the hardware to the home owner necessary to recharge an electric vehicle daily or every other day.

Overcharges damage batteries and batteries ain't cheap. There will have to be a monitoring/ timer system in the recharge package.

Off peak hours will not be off peak. Your electric bill will show the errors in your cost saving plan.

Will charging your car's battery while at work become part of your benefits package? Discuss that with management.

Occasional power outages may result in additional days off from work which will impact productivity and loss of earned vacation time and a rise in convenience stores in your neighborhood.

Car thefts will decline, battery theft will become part of our lexicon.

But all in all, it's good for the environment.

Of course physics haven't changed in 50 years. My point was on the technology curve in general.
