But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. Studies estimate utilities might compensate car owners with $2,000-3,000 a year to "borrow" their storage capacity -- thereby helping to offset the incremental costs of plug-in hybrids. I love the idea of powering my car from solar power.
