With the electric grid already at or near capacity in many areas, without a massive expansion of generating capacity, a wide spread acceptance and purchase of electric vehicles will be a disaster.

The best thing would be cheap low-demand rates. Make them really cheap so that few people would willingly recharge their electric cars during a high-demand period.

50 miles ain’t gonna cut it in Texas. We got a lot of long roads down here.

Did it mention how long to charge?

I would like to know what my electric bill would look like.

Anybody know how many KWs these things use per charge?

80km is not much of a range, considering that plug in hybrids will be able to have a normal range using the gasoline engine. I would think the market for an exclusinve electric vehicle is pretty limited.
