Also they'll do nothing to improve the grid and power production. The grid would have to handle massive amounts of energy and instantaneous power demands to charge up cars. Overnight charging would require less peak demand, but people making a trip somewhere would need it charged in minutes. Every parking lot would need chargers, so drivers can always keep the cars plugged in and reduce fast charging demands. The transformers and power lines to those lots would have to be added or massively increased. That also increases the maintenance costs of those lots. Lots that were once free, may start asking for a fee to park. More solar would be added to each building, but the demand for solar would sky rocket, making it much more expensive than today. Same with batteries. If they implement a quality of service style in parking lots or spaces, then government vehicles would get primary service, then the most dead dead cars next, then the most full cars last. You would QoS as your line capacity would not be able to charge all cars at once. Apartment complexes with 100s or 1000s of cars would certainly have trouble. As a whole in terms of all energy, gasoline and diesel are a great hedge to electrical based systems. They should be using natural gas to pump and deliver natural gas, oil to pump and deliver oil byproducts such as gasoline and diesel.
