Electric cars–and now a dual-cab pickup truck–are truly neat. But they beg the question: Where is all the extra electricity to charge them over and over going to come from? The Electric Power Research Institute doesn’t seem to be worried, and indeed is working with General Motors to advance the idea. But I still wonder. Peak energy usage for air conditioning in the summer already causes problems for Texas utilities. Add millions of electrics cars and what happens then?
