Ah yeah, you're right in that case. I am curious to see how that will be handled, it could create some nasty demand spikes during busy times (especially around holidays). It's not a big problem to put a bunch of plugs, I imagine, but it would take some serious power hardware to handle all of those, and the electricity infrastructure in general probably isn't ready yet for that kind of localized beating. But when we need it, we'll make it work. EDIT: Actually, even more interestingly, I wonder if this will get people to synch up their long-distance travel plans - ie everyone will plan to leave such that they're running low around lunchtime so that they can stop and eat while they're charging. This could create big traffic jams...
