Then, using electric is a more efficient and clean way to power cars and as this population grows you may need more power plants but you would also have less tank trucks, gas stations (most would have a gas station at their house), refineries so you end up trading one for the other.

I hate to break it to you but most residential utilization is at night
Adding widespread car charging to the equasion will exceed current production capacity in many parts of the US
Coincidentally it also means that all those people wanting to go to solar are SOL as well
Wait for electric rates to go up even MORE than they currently have as demand pushes/exceeds the limits of supply.....
Just wait until state/fed legislatures try to apply taxes to electric cars because of the decreased revenue due to lower utilization of liquid fuel sources
Oregon has already tried to go full retard on this by trying to track cars by GPS and taxing per mile driven........
Y'all dont want gov in your bedroom but are ok with Gov tracking everywhere you go?
