This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing powergrid can accept more renewable sources. In fact, hydrogen cars now coming onto the market have triple the range of most battery electric cars and can be refueled in several minutes (rather than recharged in hours), and this is just the start.

Hydrogen Based PowerGrid Support Using ElectrolyzeRs with Value Stacking (HYPER-V), $250,000. Urban Electric Power (Pearl River, New York). Buffalo, New York).
And at the headquarters of Pacific Gas and Electric, utility executives are preparing “heat maps” of neighborhoods that they fear may overload the powergrid in their exuberance for electric cars.&#. Here’s the full text of the entire article, in case the link goes bad: [link]. February 15, 2010.
Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our powergrid is getting cleaner. PHEVs might one day actually help reduce it by providing power from parked PHEVs batteries during daytime hours (see Vehicle-to-Grid in our FAQ).
Volvo Ford-owned company exploring PHEVs "ReCharge" flex-fuel series 60-mile concept PHEV w/wheel motors. announced a partnership with utility Southern California Edison to test a fleet of rechargeable electric vehicles and said it expected to sell such plug-in hybrids within the next decade if battery technology keeps pace.
The electricity for recharging has to come from somewhere, which means power plants. Depending upon where you live, power plants are often burning natural resources. The true impact of electric vehicles should consider the make-up of the powergrids where these cars will be used. 1 Jack Haddad 2 dividendgrowthinv.
