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.
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.

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.
