They neglect to inform people that its not a 1gal (ethanol or whatever replacement) = 1gal gasoline.
It takes more of the bio stuff than of gasoline, so its either going to take bigger gas tanks in cars or more trips to the pumps.

Electric cars are interesting , but then when everyone starts charging cars on an already overloaded system, especially in summer, its going to get interesting.

No actually the green gas is 1 to 1
Its why they call it 'gas'

Look up how much spare capacity there is in the grid, especially at night when people will typically plug in and charge over.
Some places wouldn't have enough but there are lots of ways to make electricity locally as oppsed to oil imports
