Just wondering where all this extra grid power is going to come from. to power electric cars.

About the only new power stations that I have noticed were the big gas turbines which are raising the price of natural gas through the roof and wind energy which around here mainly provides wind energy in the day when the winds are blowing.

How many years ago did california have those rolling brownouts because their grid was over loaded.

I don't see myself driving a "coal" fired auto.
