I'd love to know the cost of upgrading the entire US grid to support an electric car system.
Electric vehicles are an upgrade to the grid. Power tends to be used where people are, and cars tend to be parked where people are. The upgrades required to make EVs function as grid-attached storage are relatively inexpensive, and has the very real potential to reduce the peak demand from the grid. Far cheaper than building out hydrogen infrastructure.

Need more nuclear.

The strong nuclear force between protons is 175 pounds. We know how to harness and use that energy. The biggest impediment to accessing that energy is us.

So every weekday afternoon people get home from work, turn the AC down, take hot showers, cook on their stoves and somehow charging a massive electrical load is going to help the situation?
