Wait a minute: so it takes all NIGHT to recharge? So you’re driving through Kansas and are out of gas, er, volts. You pull into an electric charger and you have to sit there TWELVE HOURS???

I have no idea how long it takes to recharge. I was just positing that it is a viable commuter vehicle if it charges overnight and has a range over 350 miles.

I didn't say anything about a cross-country road trip. I have no idea if it is viable or not. I suspect not.

Where's your entrepeneurship spirit?

There will be a chain of VOLT-n-NAP's all along the highways.

Charging stations can be also added at truck stops (where they nap anyway) as large trucks go to battery powered engines.

Look at all the jobs this will create.

A loaf of bread will, it is likely, cost $8 but heck, we're saving the whales, ya know!
