To: a fool in paradise
A Private Network for Recharging Cars

The plan is to have 50 charging stations installed by the middle of next year; these would deliver three or four miles of range for each minute of charging time.

So if I have a thirty-mile drive to get home, I have 7.5 to ten minutes of charging time to get enough juice to get home.

Real stinkin' convenient.

“So if I have a thirty-mile drive to get home, I have 7.5 to ten minutes of charging time to get enough juice to get home.”

Let’s see, my estimate of a gas pump is 6 gallons per minute. So..., I get 120 miles of driving for each minute of waiting at the pump. Not a bad trade, in my opinion.
