GE is partnering with utilities companies to outfit homes with "smart meters" to deliver electricity to recharge electric cars and plug-in hybrids during off-peak hours even if they're plugged in during peak times (thus causing the existing infrastructure to handle the anticipated load):

They're also going to create outlets connected to many streetlight poles to make access to electricity for charging vehicles easy and ubiquitous.
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
