Who killed the electric car?

Ed Bagely, on an old episode of MTV Cribs from the mid-90's, showed how he used solar energy and a exercise bike to recharge his EV-1.

Re: Hitman

I do see your point about electrical power coming from renewable sources. But surely if we all start using electrical cars, the demand for electric power would be overwhelming (just look at how much our demand for electricity has gone up as PC's become household items). Is there actually enough space for the extra power stations required to supply that demand?
