I do have a question. Since the Army was in on this, wouldn’t they like to keep it secret? The info this article gives will allow other countries to build them, too? Or am I being naive?

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.
