Yes electric cars are a good technology (albeit I have not yet seen the full carbon footprint accounting for mining lithium, cobalt etc). It would also be nice to see some Hydrogen in the transport energy mix (particularly since the CSIRO breakthrough regards H storage).

"Most EV owners time the recharge for off peak overnight charge" "new supply will be renewables" If most of the latter is solar as seems likely, something's got to give, doesn't it?
