[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16563056, member: 6727"] Here's a serious question related to this thread. By how much would the existing U.S. electric grid need to be expanded/improved to support a potential of even 40% of all registered vehicles being all-electric? Could we reach a point where the grid cannot be adequately expanded to handle 75+% of vehicles being all-electric? Here are a couple of articles I read this morning. [size=5][color=#ffa64d][b][U]1.
