Electricity will always go up in price, but demand for electricity is not going to go up much if people are replacing gasoline cars with electric cars because of the huge amount of electricity that is used to refine gasoline, replace a 20mpg vehicle with a 300watt hours per mile vehicle and the nations electrical use has stayed the same, charge at night and you've helped even out the electrical demand on the grid because there is less oil being refined for you in the day time now.
