Is it time to start thinking of an energy storage device of some sort?

On the other hand, wouldn't a sudden increase in electric demand and lack of infrastructure supress the transition or possible even cause a reversal?

I guess the good news is this is mainly a problem for new car owners. The used car owners get the tech once it's been tested and the bugs worked out, kind of at least.
