I was sure that I read in another version of this article that the re-charging stations for now will still be powered by oil and other non-green methods. But maybe those plants that power the stations are more efficient then the standard gasoline powered car is.
I think it is more a change of thinking - we don't necessarily need a gas powered car.
Not that you must switch, but that a gas powered car is not necessarily needed.
