See my # 53. No big imagination required. Just put oversized supercap banks (charged at a rate the grid can handle) at the charging stations to level the vehicle charging load surges...

An analogy is the RC helicopters that are quick-charged by the battery packs in their RC hand control units.

Actually that might be a workable strategy for using the variable output of wind or solar generation (as in the "shaker" flashlights)...

(Of course, the things would have to be armored or otherwise shielded against terrorists with AP weapons...)

I guess that would one way for gas stations to stay in business. They’d become ‘charging’ stations.
