I hope that eventually this will make electric cars affordable for the average person. I love the idea of charging stations every so often. Whoever builds those will make a fortune. Probably the Oil/Gas people will do it so that as gas usage goes down, they can still rip off the public.

Wouldn’t a portable charger that you could carry in your vehicle be wonderful? Hmmmmmm.
