Most don't think of that, Richard. Electric power stations are fairly
maxing as it is to keep up with today's electrical demands, especially
for this boiling hot summers air conditioning. Honestly with people
trying to stay cool, I'm surprised there hasn't been power outages in
my area, and we have very reliable service.

Most charging would occur overnight during off-peak hours.
