Tesla S first responder notes. 3000 gallons of water, 24 hours for battery fire...

[Chris Wilson]

Building another power station is only a part of the requirement, the infrastructure to distribute this power to homes and workplaces, often in remote areas will cost a fortune. Such costs will have to be met by the consumer, making it unlikely to occur. i think battery technology is woefully inadequate for mass usage of electric vehicles at this moment. Possibly hydrogen fuel cells could work but for whatever reason interest seems to have waned in the technology. maybe Tesla can work on a marijuana fuel cell?

Toyota haven’t given up on Hydrogen it seems. They launched a hydrogen powered ship this summer.
