Curt, This is my point about no distribution system. As you said, we need 220v outlets (you can't always be home for a charge on 110v) and someone needs to develop and implement a metering system, etc. etc. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be plugging a car into a 220v outlet when it's raining. Anymore than I want to hook my car to a hydrogen tank that might spark and blow me into the next county. Businesses in the Atlanta area have tried all sorts of things to look "green", etc. like van pools and such, but nothing has made a dent in the problem. So maybe I'm an optimistic pessimist. I hope for the best, but my practical side says these things are not the answer...at least not in my lifetime. >>>>>>>> As for "no distribution system" you got no outlets at your place? We've got a HUGE distribution system. What we'll need is more 220v outlets to get better charge times. What we don't really have now is a good metering system to allow you to pay places, but I think in the short term businesses will start giving free charges for employees to show off how "green" they are. In fact we've started talking about getting my wife's landlord to put in a charging station. I'm sort of long term pondering a 190EV. It'd be a fun project anyway. -Curt >>>>>>>>> Best Wishes, Roger Hale Monroe, Ga. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/
