Not pointless. In spite of all the naysayers, electric is coming on a much larger scale.

Not in my lifetime it won't and at the slight chance they did become mainstream, the grid as it now stands won't support electric vehicles for the masses. The grid needs upgraded first before plug in vehicles can become mainstream.

Putting the cart before the horse will result in disaster.

Ford's pulling the train cars is kind of misleading. For one thing all rail cars today ride on roller bearings so it don't take a lot of effort to move them (when the brakes are released) and I'm sure the trackage is perfectly level too. Might even be a bit downhill as advertising like that is usually fixed anyway.
