Walls Street Journal Agrees with Me on Problems of Charging Electric Cars

On July 15, I published a post on the weaknesses of al the forecasts about electric car growth -- the inability of many to but cars because of lack of access to chargers.  Today, the Wall Street Journal had an interesting article on another aspect of the problem -- the lack of public charging locations and the immense strain that  might be placed on the electricity network if electric car users try to charge at the wrong time.  It also refers to an article in the MIT Technology Review about the problems that electricity utilities will have with high speed chargers that may overwhelm neighborhood grids.  I am glad to see that some of the practical problems with electric cars are being aired.
