“There is no plug-in market.”
LOL. Long ago, I moved into a brand new neighborhood. So did a lot of younger people, as it was entry-level housing. I’ll never forget the first Spring - people were cutting their grass every 3 days - what pride - just like they saw daddy doing it years earlier.
Over time it started getting old. The grass got longer and longer between cuts. Trimming was rare. They were SICK OF IT.
So I just imagine the HUGE SMILES as the Volt owners plug in their car, night after night, after night, after night, after night, and then another night. And they watch their gas-guzzling neighbors park, get out of their car, and be done with it until the next morning...and they envy. And they think just how STUPID they were, as they have to drag the plug through the rain, or wiggle around a wet car, and do it again, and again, and again. All the while knowing that they have batteries that can blow any time and that they haven’t done jack for “the planet” as they know coal is used for that power.
If they tossed in free lawnmower attachments, portable welding cabling kit and power inverter station, I might be more interested.
