Basically, it's a larger version of a cellphone battery, which means it charges up fast. Naturally, people using the car in California will just expect their employer to provide an electrical outlet so that the car can be charged on the company nickel, during peak load time for the power grid. Then complain that the price of electricity is too high and brownouts are too often. More airhead ideas courtesy the mentality of the entertainment industry, which expects the working people to be the patrons and pay all the bills.

Yep, yep. What I was pushing with this post, though, is the idea that they are going down the wrong road. If they go hybrid, using a hydro (or anything) powered DC generator, you'd never have to plug it in at all.
