A couple of questions.

Are the neighborhood grids capable of handling half the cars in a neighborhood being electric? Will upgrades be needed?

Will losing part of your charge back into the grid be accepted by owners? I expect my vehicle to be fully charged in fhe morning for an out of town trip but find it at half or three fourths capacity because power was redirected back into the grid. I wouldn't be a hapoy camper.

I might be misunderstanding.
