Anderson Thu, 11 Jun 2009 21:02:14 +0000 http://www.bmwblog.com/?p=4469#comment-131959 The cost of electricity may not "skyrocket', since most cars will be recharged at night when existing electric demand is much lower. The use of off-peak electricity is much like long distance rates or cell phone rates. There is a huge network with lots of capacity to support usage during normal business hours. Rates are low (or free) in the evening due to decreased demand. Prices could rise, but at least the money we pay would stay close to home.

It'll just switch to something else instead of petrol. @Lance:

Eventually petrol will be the much cheaper option and we'll all slowly revert back to petrol. SOLAR is the way to go, you don't need to buy that! except for the panels Now imagine everyone starts building wall plug recharge cars…. our electricity demand will sky-rocket leading to massive increase in electricity prices.

I wonder if BMW is moving away from hydrogen as it's next gen fuel source and more towards electricity? Either way, as this is a slient car - can we program in for the external speakers to play the Ferrari 250 GTO exhaust note? :-) you know, so people will hear you approaching a crosswalk - hey, it's for the kids.
