On a recent road trip to far eastern Pennsylvania we stopped a few of the very large truck stops & gas stations. Hundreds of 18 wheelers and countless cars all get fueled up and bladders emptied. Then get back on the interstate and the traffic was three lanes of vehicles for as far as the eye could see, all burning petroleum. Maybe a dozen electric cars in the lot of them. No electric semis at all.

Maybe someday, but I just can't fathom the energy needed to move all that traffic day after day, all year long. We don't have nearly the electricity available to make a dent in it now.

How does a 100 electric cars and hundreds of semis get charged in short order without a local power plant?
