This was discussed a while ago on sci.energy I believe. Someone calculated that if all the cars in San Francisco were to be recharged everynight, it would take well over 100% of the current generating capacity for the San Francisco area. Even charging off peak, electric cars would mean extra generating capacity, lots of it. -- Mob rule doesn't become any prettier, just because the mob start to call itself a government.
