It is coming 2019: Mission E

[kk2002s]

I have to cynically suspect the push to electric cars, instead of other options, is all about $$$$ for all with our beloved politicians in the back pockets helping drive this with tax incentives.
As said, the Grid is not ready to support this. Our power plants are not ready (Maybe we bring back on line all those retired coal plants)
I can see electric cars as a good 2nd car option, expensive but makes sense as they have time to recharge. I am seeing more and more Teslas so there seems to be a high end market, not so much lesser priced e-cars.

When I think e-cars I think back to a youth soccer tournament and the owner of a Tesla from New York (90 miles away) walking all around the vast fields with a charging extension cord over his shoulder looking desperately for an electric plug.

It reminds me of the airport boarding gates and every electric plug surrounded by cell phones and laptops charging away.
