you don't even have to consider the maintenance or infra-structure. CA barely maintains 200GWh per year and imports another 100GWh per year and the infrastructure is maxxed out. the average gas car gobbles .6mi/Kwh. you figure 25M cars in CA (low) and 15,000mi/year on ave. you wind up with 225 petawatt hours. this is the additional load. it's not an additional 200Gwh, it's a little more by, maybe 1,000. you can mess with the numbers (better gas mileage, lower average miles, fewer gas cars to convert) but you still wind up with ratio's of 80-100x on the low end and 1000x on the high end. realizing you're dealing with the gov, the actual will be 4,000x. the answer is, its a sham and cannot possibly be accomplished -and maintain everyone's current lifestyle. someone has to die because they have zero intention of expanding infrastructure, and they could care less about lifestyle, especially after you don't have guns. you can also calculate using 33.7kwh/gal if you want to mess with mileage efficiency for gas cars. it comes out nearly the same, someone has to die for lifestyle to be maintained.
Definitely good supporting evidence for the global population reduction.
You make a point about the grid regarding the importation of 100GWh into CA. That's hard on the grid. The grid could support a fair bit more load with local power generation. But I'm sure the DS knows that as well.
