This is great but…where the hell is the grid to do all this?

This isn't going to be easy, and multiple projects and points of focus have to be going on at the same time. But it can be done. -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 08:42 5
- You’d think so but you should build the infrastructure first because it’s more expensive and time-costly. - Will Hunting Apr 8, 08:47 4
  - I see your point, but where is the incentive to do it without the rule? -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 08:51 3
    - There’s no incentive anyhow. Car makers aren’t power grid operators. - Will Hunting Apr 8, 08:55 2
      - Because the answer isn’t politically palpable. - spamlet Apr 8, 09:08
      - Ideally, this is one piece of a puzzle and a lot more pieces are to come. -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 09:00
