Solar and wind aren't going to work since they don't produce power most of the 24 hour cycle.
If everyone switches passenger vehicles to electric then residential electrical demand doubles.
Utilizing a gigawatt hour scale battery that's only around 80% efficient is really stupid.
Just think, all the wind and solar we have now won't even cover charge to discharge losses. What a waste.
