I do wonder about this one. The US grid has issues handling the load today during the winter and summer high points. I imagine when EVs become more commonplace they will place a significant load on the grid. More demand can also mean more $$$. How else are you going to charge your car and get around (the mentality of the oil/gas companies today...can charge whatever, really)? Unless infinite nuclear power or some other technology comes about, I'm not quite sure how long electricity will remain "cheap."
