Technically, you can run it 40 miles w/out gas. Charge it up and do it all over again tomorrow....and the day after, and the day after that.......
This is true.

The only thing I'm not sure of is the increased load of plug-in vehicles on the struggling electrical grid.

And the additional smoke out the power plant smoke stacks burning coal, or more nuclear power plants.

At least we have abundant supplies of coal.

It's hard to measure which way is better if you look at the full process IMO.
