[LINK] Electric vehicles and generation

Linkers,

Wired got all excited about a battery powered car:

My maths isn't good enough for this, but I'm wondering: how would you 
work out the generation load required for electric cars? It seems that 
6300+ batteries would really suck the power down the cable when you 
plugged it in!
