Electric cars will ruin late night listening?

In the not too distant future, the charging cycle (time of day) will get inverted.

As more solar/wind capacity comes on line you will get to plug your car in for a charge everywhere…while out shopping, at the office, just sitting there parked, for little to no $$$. I made a small investment in a startup that is researching ways for the paint (wrap or coating) on a car to be photovoltaic. (Proof of concept prototype is operational). With proper and improved photovoltaic efficiency someday, as the tech comes along, one could potentially drive a certain contant speed from coast to coast without stopping. Of course, I only need an hour of range (and a 10 minutes recharge window) since I always travel with my wife and we stop frequently.

There will be a day very soon where cars actually power the grid from dusk til dawn and recharges during the daytime.

It will be a long time until electric cars are less expensive than their gasoline/diesel counterparts. The cost of the raw materials for batteries, et al have gone up considerably. Operating costs will depend on uptake and the power grid energy sources. Full disclosure: I drive a plug in hybrid.
