Yep, but what I can't help wonder about is just how much more will electricity rates skyrocket 'again'. Once they have folks by the balls needing juice to recharge, they can name their price calling it supply and demand same as gas. I don't trust 'em knowing our electric rates have already doubled in two years here, without electric cars. Whatever they do, we'll most likely end up taking it up the ass in either electric rates, or gas prices no matter what.
