Wow, that's pretty funny. Of all the reasons one might find to upgrade an
electric service, "electric vehicles are on the way", is certainly not one
I would have thought of. I suppose with the new "Volt" coming out with
it's revolutionary 40 miles (best case scenario) on a charge, people will
be just tripping over each other to buy one. We electricians will be
backlogged for the next ten years trying to upgrade everyone's service to
accommodate these technological wonders.


Funny today, maybe no so ten years from now. I read that California is
installing thousands of charging stations now. That is keeping some
electricians busy.

I'd put one in if I was buying a Tesla. You won't catch me driving a Volt
even though the payback is a mere 18 years or so.
