Default Re: Existing U.S. electrical grid will not currently support switch to electric cars

I heard the news this morning that Georgia Power company is planning to build not only one, but two nuclear power plants.
Yes! Great news.

I've been following the Aptera for a while www.aptera.com and would seriously consider the battery electric model. I'd pay the $27,000. I think it's really so cool, but my wife hates it.

Imagine this sometime in your EV future:

Drive +300 miles then pull into a fueling station. It doesn't matter where it is, perhaps the same one that used to sell you gasoline.
Old battery automatically ejected and placed on a charging station,
and a new one is inserted in your vehicle. 100% automatic.
Your vehicle calculates the capacity of the new battery, pay the man and go! Drive in and back out in far less time than you spent pumping fuel.

That's a good dream.
