The fact GM is shifting production to Mexico is not just for labor costs, missing in the media

23. I don't think capacity is a problem.

Power companies have to build for peak demand which is mostly daytime hours and early evening. Charging at night shouldn't be too much of a hurdle. As a matter of fact I think a case could be made for the extra off peak usage making the grid more effecient as currently the power companies have to fire up more plants just to handle the daytime peak and rae not needed overnight. 120 volt chargers come in 8 and 12 amp chargers come in 8 and 12 amp models, which is comparable to a small and large window air conitioner. The 220 volt chargers are ariund 30 amps which are equivalent to a clothes dryer. I am sure power companies are looking and planning for changes in consumption down the road.
The UK is using small pre-built gas plants to bridge the gap in renewables. Interesting article on this at https://www.ft.com/content/ba6bd46a-1d75-11e8-956a-43db76e69936. And of course wind and solar power can be incrased rather quickly, comapred to a large nuke.
The price of home solar continues to drop. I get my solar from a co-op and am 100% solar.The price for a grid tied solar power system seems to be dropping rapidly and I currently see quotes under $4 per kilowatt installed. If you can buy a new car,then adding the price of the solar power is pretty much a no brainer in my opinion, since it could show a healthy return on investment.
Of course, electric cars won't fix our car problem. We need better public transportation.
