Would an All-Electric yaris be cheaper in the long run?

when there was already a high demand on the power grid from every one getting home from work cooking dinner and taking showers.

That's not the highest demand, it's air conditioning and business power usage during the day. Check your local utility for what their "peak hours" are. Usually over by 7pm.

In south florida I remember peak hours being evening (5-9pm) b/c everyone is home using their shoddy AC units, lights are on, and watching TV. That and weekends; they called them brownouts. Though I don't know if that coincides with FPL's (electric company) version of peak usage.
