It's not remotely fixed yet, the amount of electricity needed + infrastructure is massive + the electricity we generate is not exactly clean.

And once this is common - you will not be 'shopping' - you will be 'working'.

I worked for BlackBerry and watched the world transform to 'off time is now on time'.

Basically - 'after hours' became accessible to managers - now commute times will be as well.

It will be good for skilled labour/trades. They will still get paid by the hour ... while white collar workers will now be putting in an extra 50 mins a day on average, no extra comp :)

I'm not sure which ax you need to grind here, but electric cars surely solve the pump-gas-in-the-cold-problem you brought up (not to mention a whole lot of other gasoline-related problems).
