All electric vehicles?
I guess electrically powered vehicles are coming but seems to me they are presently only a rich person's toy with present technology. By that I mean, they're only good for around town and short trips ...

Strange that they can do peak demand for several hours without significant problems. Is there something special about doing a peak at 11:00 a.m. vs 6 p.m?2edgesword wrote:
There is a lot of power generation between 10am and 4pm but not a lot of infrastructure to deliver it.
That’s actually an important point to remember and I imagine the utilities focus on getting users to utilize these times more.
Workplace charging is becoming a big thing now especially in middle to large size companies with large parking facilities. Even 120 volt charging makes sense in these applications. We are seeing it more and more down south where EV density is growing fast. Utility companies are getting involved in this in a big way because the alternative for them...they won’t and they will miss the boat. Very little grid infrastructure required as the power comes from solar panel covered parking. Google images on this and it is quite amazing. It doesn’t take much solar to provide a commuters power needs for an EV. This is gaining popularity even in colder snowy climates like Holland and Norway.
