Let’s see... according to the industry, it takes on average 16 hours to recharge one of these duds. Just how are people going to get to and from the recharging stations while the cars are charging? Yes! Gasoline-powered taxis and public transportation! It’s a worth a trip out to the center of liberal lunacy just to walk around and talk to people, see the charging stations, talk to the college students, etc. Recommended: wear gloves.

I haven’t seen any companies claiming it took more than eight hours to recharge their vehicles. Are you aware of a place that reveals they are misleading the public?

I was wondering about the sudden rush across the country to provide charging stations when at last count way fewer than five thousand total electrics have been sold.

And then I remembered IBEW Local 3 work rules in NYC. I'm guessing the Labor czar has had talks about giving them IBEW jurisdiction at all charging stations across the country.

So while DoughtOne questions your take on charging time, the reality might more closely approach your number.

It's a perfect set-up for the IBEW in the major cities. Allows entry of illegals as "plug technicians", jourymen, foremen, and union reps man their posts.

Take a number we be wich you in a min-ed

Full recharge time is going to be variable with voltage, phase, EV, hybrid, battery age,etc, but none of them take any where near as long as 16 hours.

As for these public charging stations, they are there for short charges. 10 to 15 minutes will get you down the road for 20 miles, until you get home and get the full charge.
