Dallas Business News:

The charger is relatively slow, and some cars will take hours to get a full charge. So the idea is to change consumer thinking about refueling, from waiting next to the vehicle to just leaving the car plugged in while shopping.

Just think how convenient it would be if McDonald's or Wal Mart had some charging
stations in their parking lots.

Some national chain needs to get behind electric vehicles and this could really take off.

Here in South Cal I have seen public charging stations in the Angels Stadium parking lot, and at a couple of shopping malls. I have also seen charging stations at a few other places, but off hand I don't remember where they were.

As a retired person, most of my driving is for short trips. If I could get a car that went 5 miles in electric mode, I could cut my gas consumption way down. If I could go 10 miles in electric mode and then charge it at the other end, I would hardly ever have to use gasoline. However, I don't use much gas as it is.

It might be the first one for this go-around, but there's been an electric car charger in front of Bookman's used book store on Ina Road in Tucson, Arizona, since the time when General Motors tested their electric cars here in the mid-1990s. It was never removed in the hope that the scrapped car project would one day be revived.
