In terms of the situation, when we talk about electric vehicles, if we did have this great influx of them, the only idea that I'm familiar with is that you'd have to have some massive battery storage projects in order to make that happen. The electrical grid, as we have it, would not be able to manage it. Then we'd be downloading all of this into municipalities in an attempt to be able to supply what they need.
I'm a former math and physics teacher. Perhaps with your physics background you could explain somewhat to folks just how easy that would be.
