Electric cars will ruin late night listening?

My system sounds best late at night. I run passive conditioners. Everyone is a sleep, no one is running stoves, microwaves, A/C is running less, the transformers are working less. 5,10,20 years from now we all have electric cars. Everyone is fast a sleep with there electric cars plugged in for there 4 to 8 hour charge every night in my neighborhood,, my city, my state. What will this do to the sonics of our system or the quality of the power coming into our homes?

I did say mains powered generator, to avoid the air pollution and noise.

But I'm sure you're right.  There are fools on here that would think the fuel could affect the sound.

I agree with riley804, why worry? Gasoline cars still rule.Electric cars will not be in demand until there are places to plug them in.

It will be a long time until electric cars are less expensive than their gasoline/diesel counterparts. The cost of the raw materials for batteries, et al have gone up considerably. Operating costs will depend on uptake and the power grid energy sources. Full disclosure: I drive a plug in hybrid.

Cheaper than gas, without any road taxes, plus all the plastic that is needed for the manufacture of electric vehicles will go up considerably when they are mainstream, not to mention how much it will cost to mine the commodities to produce them.
