That has been one of my complaints about this whole fiasco --- there is no infrastructure to support these things. I think that the Sears in our local mall has a couple of charging stations outside of it's store. However, that is the only charging station I have ever seen, anywhere.
No infrastructure? Do you have outlet in your garage? Do you see gas stations every 2 miles?
There’s plenty wrong with the Volt and the GM bailout, but plug-in hybrids are a great direction towards energy independence. The morons currently running our country are unfortunately trying to shove the things down our throats instead of letting the market naturally and efficiently develop and refine the technology.
How great would it be to have private companies buy into parking lots setting up “charging meters”. Plug-in owners would glady pay a small premium on top of the local per-kwh charge for electricity.
The technology has a great capability to create new markets for private sector entrepreneurs while sending less oil money overseas.
