If "everyone" had one, it would be a huge issue, since power grids in many larger urban and suburban areas are already being pushed to their limits. But a couple in each neighborhood isn't going to bother anything, and that's the most we can expect anytime in the next several years.

As far as how much it would actually raise your utility bill, I dunno. Would be interesting to see if it would be cheaper to plug it in at night during off peak hours, or let the gas motor recharge the batteries.
