The introduction of 500 electric cars will not have any noticeable national effect. Even though we hope that electric vehicles will replace fossil-fuel-powered vehicles as quickly as possible, it is not realistic to expect that such a change will happen immediately. This does however provide national electricity producers with an opportunity to adjust to this situation. It is also possible that in 5-10 years time, the cost of electrical energy used to charge electric cars could follow prices on the electricity exchanges in real time. This would allow purchases of electricity to be synchronised with periods when there is a surplus of production and the associated cost is low. Old technology makes it possible, if we want, to burn oil in power stations and thus simply gain more driving kilometres than is possible by operating traditional fossil-fuel-powered vehicles. It should be noted that the majority of fossil-fuel-powered power stations produce both electrical power and heat, with the
