"Electric cars will typically be plugged in during off-peak hours (e.g. after owner comes home from work) which is when you have less AC load"
I saw a special about the electric grid in CA called the 'most stressful job in America' and they mentioned that when people get home from work, they all crank up the a/c at about the same time and that is the biggest load of the day. Electric cars plugged in at the same time should make it much worse.
The downside I saw to the Volt was the cost. GM expects pricing to be as high as 40 grand - too much for the average Joe. A cheap electric car will sell well.
