Electric cars won't be the problem for a long time since only about 1.5 out of 1,000 cars on the road are electric, in the US.

Electric cars could be a big help to the grid. Since all cars sit parked about 90% of the time on average, if even a small fraction of them were plugged in while parked - they could be used a vast storage system, that could buffer the grid demands.
