    It's cool. I've developed a new hybrid engine that runs off of tired memes and free porn.

    One isn't a problem. A million could be a gigantic problem.

    It all depends on the rate of uptake, and the effort made to adapt the grid, and to incorporate new power sources - like solar and wind - while continuing to conserve electrical usage in other ways.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: There's also the issue of different regional power grids having different capacities. In the Northwest and California, there is actually a lot of excess generation capacity, especially at night. The western states have all spent the last 30 years pushing for energy-efficient everything, so while peak power usage may be really high, the night-time loads are low. The eastern seaboard and the midwest tends to have a smaller difference between peak and base load power usage, so they'd be less able to absorb a lot of cars charging overnight.

    Make it a proprietary plug that supplies power between midnight and six.

    Well, at least I can tell it apart from the Insight now. ZipCar will probably buy a few thousand for starters.

    Not bad. I'm a fan of the Ford S-max, C-max, and Mazda5, and this appears to be in the same stylistic arena. But I'd love it to be a minivan people carrier and not just a regular wagon, if possible.

    Hey, if I'm gonna drive frumpy, give me maximum utility ;) #toyotaprius

    This is actually a good metaphor for how the hybrid system works. It maybe the butt of jokes but it conveys the point very well.

    On a side note I'm always surprised when I continue to see Oh, what a feeling in these current adverts even if the phrase is not literally spoken.

    I'd just run with butt ugly, and leave it at that.
