    You can but if you get too many electric cars we will have to build more power plants to compensate for the tremendous increase in electrical consumption which kind of defeats the point of having electric cars to conserve energy and reduce pollutants.

    Yes, we will be able to do that.

    A 2007 plug-in study estimated that annual U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 would drop by 163 to 612 million metric tons as plug-ins hit the market. For context, that's 2 to 8 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2007.

    The benefits would rise if full-electrics catch on. But the potential isn't unlimited: Today, cars and light-duty trucks account for 16 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

    Why not? The car is electric and there is always adapters if it doesn't fit, right?

    The Chevy Volt plug in hybrid car will come with two different charging methods. A 220V charger that you will install in your garage and a 110V on board charger.
    The 220 charger will allow you to quickly charge the batteries. The on board charger will plug in to any normal outlet home or away. This will charge the battries as well but it will take much longer for a full charge.
