Almost all those people are apartment dwellers. And I think it's safe to suggest that, before long, it'll be as difficult to find apartment complexes that lack 110 outlets for residents in their already-designated spaces as it is today to find apartment complexes lacking cable (etc.) TV and Internet access. The remainder are going to be those in places like San Francisco where on-street parking is the only option, and where there aren't enough on-street spots to begin with. That represents a very small fraction of the population -- but also a rather affluent fraction. I'll bet you a cup of coffee that parking meters with chargers become the norm in such places. Between those two groups, plus the overwhelming majority who already have easy access to an overnight plug...that's everybody. Maybe except for the homeless living out of their cars -- but, for better or worse, that demographic isn't going to be considered in these matters. There will be fast-charging stations along the freeways, mostly at existing truck stops and the like. There will be some convenience stores that have a fast-charging station near the gas pumps. There will never be the density of fast-charging stations as we currently have for gas pumps -- nowhere close. b& _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
