I'm really surprised by this article. Electric cars shouldn't be discounted just because they aren't as green as the seem/are advertised to be - they are still by all accounts more efficient than ICE vehicles (even with our terrible electric grid and issues with demand). Load demand will be solved with local and utility scale energy storage, something which is occurring already in Hawaii where solar is so widely deployed that utilities have placed a moratorium on storage-less solar deployments because they can't handle the demand changes when a cloud rolls through town. The issue with our electric grid is recognized at the highest levels of our nation. President Obama brought this up largely unprompted during his recent interview with Destin Sandlin. Destin: "These huge technological projects that you're talking about, stuff America builds with our hands; I'm thinking of the Hoover Dam, the Eisenhower interstate system, Kennedy launched Apollo... Am I gonna to see that, ever again, in my generation?" Obama: "I would like to see it - you know - in that order for us to do that, it requires a common vision of some of these big projects - now, I'll give you an example of an area where we should be investing, and that is creating a smart grid. This is something I've been interested in for a while. The way we link up energy is hugely inefficient in this country ... but the basic electricity grid that we have wastes huge amounts of energy." This leaves us with only the range/changing issues which will both resolve as battery tech improves. Either of increased range or faster charging batteries will help, and we are seeing both. The demand for the Tesla proves we are already at parity.
