California gets half our electricity from natural gas. Assuming NG electricity is not so valid for the USA as a whole but maybe Tesla plans to market in silicon valley. For now.
Anyways the efficiency of gasoline powered cars don't matter if there is no gasoline.
I plan to charge all these EVs during the day with solar panels. How do you plan to fuel all those hybrids?

I haven`t escaped from reality. I have a daypass.
True.
Most vehicle use is during the day. Its tough to charge your EV during the day.
Most schemes I read plan to charge these EVs during the night on wasted capacity (coal plants don't shut down quickly so often are left wasting power overnight). And that was what I originally wrote the above for.
Solar has severe drawbacks for charging at night.
If I got to make the decision I'd go for nuke and wind.
Most vehicles are driven to work during the day and left in the company parking lot for eight hours. Google already has solar powered recharging stations for employees with PHEVs.

robert2734's comment is good. The thing is, the average vehicle is parked 23 hours of the day, and 90% of the time it's offstreet.
It's just a question of putting a connection at that parking space. It's done in Canada & Minnesota at parking meters & garages for engine pre-heating.
