The power drain argument against electric cars is very weak, solutions have already been determined. All that's needed is to have the cars pull their power at times of lower load, which is during the night. They also could use the car batteries to reduce the peak load (around 5-6pm I think?), which would help the electric industry, as the peak load the lines have to be designed for won't be as high.

No links, as it's something I saw ~5 years ago on television.
