Wonder what the charging rate is? Can’t be very large.

Too bad we can’t do this with gas.

Pay an extra dime a gallon for a robot to fill up your tank :)

I will be using gasoline for a long time as my Challenger is going nowhere.

If electric cars are getting that much better every year, as even some here say, and the companies can survive and maybe thrive without any govt help, that’s great.

As long as I can keep my car.

“Wonder what the charging rate is?”

Well think of this, how big is a wireless charger compared to the phone that it’s charging? Now scale it up to charge a car (or a fleet of cars) and you have some idea of what they are proposing here. Or I have an idea, stick to a regular car that I can refuel wherever I run low and I can do it in 10 minutes.

I read that in Germany, private companies have set up charging stations and are losing money hand over fist as few as using those stations. According to the article, one outfit is charging 79c for each kilowatt hour, so a 100 kw car will be paying 80 Euro for a "fill up".

I'm with you in wondering what those stations here in the States charge - it's something you never read about.

Anybody have the experience?
