So most definitely, the electric vehicles are taxing the grid.

And yes, electric cars are a huge problem. And lets not forget, the city people who drive them (Because they don't work in the country yet) get home between 3 pm and 7 pm. I wonder how many of these people will wait to plug their cars in until after 8pm...

didn't "we" just put (borrow from ourselves) $6 trillion into fixing our infrastructure?
God, I'd love to see where this money is earmarked. Its **** sure not going to add more electricity grids
I think its being spent improving the roads to get to the 7-11 where we can buy our 40oz malt Liquor and grape cigars, not to mention our scratch-offs
