Of course it would have an impact. First, you still have your 2.5 TVs (most of which are not plasma). Now add your eCAR or 5 more TV's per house hold. But wait the average number of cars per household is something like 2.5, so we will go with 12 new plasma TVs per household. So, 115,000,000 households x 12 new plasma TVs = 1 Billion, 380 Million new plasma TVs plugged into the wall.
If you cut that number in half it would still create some kind of strain.
But at least there's that report thats says it wont.
