7. Well if we had that at least we wouldn't have the type of collapse that hit the Northeast in '03

That would be good.

But if the grid held back on the non-priority demands and if everyone was trying to run on these new batteries, then the fast-charging wouldn't happen after all.

From the link:

Electrical power cannot easily be stored over extended periods of time, and is generally consumed less than a second after being produced.

How many people are filling their tanks with gas right now? What if they all had these batteries instead?
