According to the latest figures there are 170,000 electric cars in the USA. However there is only one charging point for every six vehicles.

There could be trouble.

>>Angry notes have been left on windscreens and drivers have returned to their cars to find that they have been unplugged.

Do they write the notes with a faggoty lisp?

When two electric car owners meet with charge rage, what do they do to settle it? Do they have a dance-off (with show tunes, of course)?

Clearly the rest of us will have to pay for more charging stations. (and the electricity to go with them)

Charge Rage.

Heh, heh, heh. Lovin’ it.

Payback to those enviro-weenies who used to key up Hummers is sure a MObama, huh?

What makes them think they can buy a $250,000 Chevy Volt for some $34,000 and think us taxpayers are happy to take that loss?

My buddy’s daughter has a Tesla (an awesome but overpriced rig IMHO).
She get’s “free” juice at her employer.
But another guy bought a Volt and they have to share, LOL.

Lib solution:
build more charging stations.

Normal person solution: get a gasoline car.

Be kind of nice having that little four-cylinder internal combustion engine up running to charge up the batteries on the drive to and from work....

And just maybe, that little engine might make the day by crippling back to a place where real rescue work can be done.

A thorium-fired sealed recirculating steam power unit to drive the on-board generator, using some fluid medium (even air) to actually provide the motive power.

For electric vehicles to ever work with a high degree of efficiency and reliability, some on-board generation system has to be in place. Batteries are NOT a primary power source, they are just a rather inefficient form of energy storage. Maybe some kind of super-conductor capacitor with a way of modulating the discharge?

Dilithium crystals, that’s the ticket.

Kind of like siphoning gas from a conventional car.

O wait...conventional car drivers actually PAY for their own fuel.

With our cost of living rising while our income remains stagnant, we try to cut corners everywhere. This includes unplugging things not in use. Since I’m paying for these stations, I should get to unplug them. I can always say that I’m doing it for the environment if the pitch a fit.

it should be based on how close you are, your level of power, basically your level of need

Ah, the eternal liberal rallying cry. Need!

When something is given away for free, the demand may end up exceeding the supply. Perhaps they should charge people for charging their cars.
