There's definitely something to be said for having a lot of mass in the vehicle in an accident though. It's not that a small vehicle can't be made strong but the acceleration felt by the occupants of a light vehicle is much worse than in a really massive one. Joe Mike Redler wrote: That's

Kirk, The grid is maxed out during peak times in some places (California, the Northeast) like on summer afternoons when it is hot, but the idea would be to charge the cars at night or off-peak times when power generation, transmission and distribution are in excess. Many electric utilities across
