ok, i listened to NPR. they had some woman involved with the project. they are really diving into this and working with the utilities for a long term solution. apparently it is already happening. they are at 70% capacity, if we should all get a volt. they system is smart. it only charges up late at night when demand is low. it could work, but not for me. for me, i would run out of juice on the bay bridge.
