"Most houses in the United States don’t have an electrical service that would charge the batteries that fast."

If electric cars ever become the norm - and they might - then "gas stations" would become "recharging stations" and some technology would be developed to make it work. The recharging would not necessarily need to take place in the home. I know there's a lot of snobbery and corporate cronyism going on with electric cars, but they are probably our future.

I'm surprised to hear so much negativism coming from a website that is supposedly comprised of conservative Americans with a "can do" attitude. If this had been our attitude during the horse-and-buggy days, the automobile as we know it would never have been developed.

‘”The recharging would not necessarily need to take place in the home.”

Your not serious... your going to park your car down at the ‘electric recharging station for 5 or 5 hours?
