Green Car Congress

He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. The potential is enormous because the current grid has sufficient energy capacity to supply every vehicle in the United States if every one of them was a PHEV. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.
