That is the big hang up with doing any of this. We will need literally 300 Million 14-50 electrical plugs installed. Everywhere. So that the 275 Million cars and light trucks that we just converted to electric, just in the USA, can be made to charge anytime, anywhere. That they happen to be whenever there is an abundance of electricity to soak up.
.
Again, Scale. Once you start to add things up you realize the futility of clinging to the belief that we can keep the same level of Western civilization up after oil availability tips over the top in 20 years driving the price out of reach of the middle class.
