Thanks, absolutely correct. I got unconscionably careless with my powers of 10. That shouldn't have passed the sniff test here. Sorry. For sure, 2 megawatts is much more manageable than 2 gigawatts, though 10 or 20 megawatts to run an EV "filling station" is still a pretty substantial amount of power. Using a battery as a load leveler would certainly help, but also would add operating expense. It also makes me think about the PV folks who tout the benefits of grid intertie for leveling THEIR loads. :-) David Roden - Akron, Ohio, USA EVDL Administrator = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = EVDL Information: http://www.evdl.org/help/ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Note: mail sent to "evpost" and "etpost" addresses will not reach me.
