Look, pushing a 5k lb car around uses lots of juice. If the grid can't handle existing draw then the grid can't handle future draw when millions of electric cars need to suck big E-juice.

At best, with charging at night (when green wind and solar are next to nil) CA still does not have enough juice for that kind of demand.

And really, is such a fragile system a good goal?
