We need to change the grid system so small producers have an incentive to build their own power plants[ie.your home]This has been done in Europe as Lyle has pointed out in Germany and is the driving factor in the explosion in PV and renewable energy there.Come on people,the USA is the frontier and if there were the incentives to have every farmer,inventor and homeowner-joe six pack and tech nerd American to do this it is done and fast!The Buildings are then the power plants,and then the smart grid takes over and does the rest!The big money utilities are going to be pissed off and it will take a Teddy Rosevelt president to do this but once the tipping point is achieved it will happen.The technology is there and we invented most of it.GM is really doing the right thing with the Volt,and this takes guts.

5% market penetration in 15 years?? He’s really not being serious.

First, hybrids are growing fast, and are likely to be 5% of the market in 5 years. 2nd, surely in 5 years most hybrids will be plugged in – this suggests that plug-ins will be 5% just a year or two after that. 3rd, light vehicles less than 6 years old account for 50% of miles travelled. 4th, gas prices are likely to continue to rise quickly, and awareness of climate change has reached critical mass, so demand will be there.

I expect plug-in’s to account for 75% of new light vehicle sales in 15 years, and 50% of miles travelled.

Two absolute conditions I require to buy a Volt:1) Do not prohibit me from charging during the day ( to appease big oil or Utilities). 2)Do not make leasing the battery, the only way to buy a Volt so they can kill the lease & kill the car(Who killed the Electric car). With that said I understand the reason for charging at night. Power plants cost money whether or not they are selling electricity so selling more juice at night makes them more cost effective (more revenue same plant)& should reduce daytime electricity cost (If the PUC is doing its job). With SCE implementing a SMART grid to be in place be introduction of the Volt we should be able to charge at day & pay more/KWH than charging at night (supply & demand) the cost will be the incentive. And as stated it would be better for the environment to pop up a few more coal fire plants than to burn gas as per mile, coal fire plants produce less pounds of pollution as compared to petroleum fuels & the USA has over 100 years supply. They should not fear the collapse of the grid due to over loading in the first year or two & it should give power companies time to implement SMART meters to encourage cost based on demand. I say don’t handicap my Volt! GM are you listening? You can give me an option so my car will only start charging at 6:00 PM-7 AM but that will be my choice & not the default. I plug in when I park & the charger will kick in based on my preference not the utilities or big oil. My car, My choice! Let the market figure out the rest.
