And recharge in an hour

And therein lies the problem. Take a look at just the gas stations around the interstates and how busy they are, especially on holiday weeks. Today, you can be in and out in 5 minutes once you get your turn. Can you imagine the infrastructure requirements for the same amount of traffic and each taking an hour to re-fuel? Around town driving should not be a problem as most people will be able to refuel overnight at their homes, businesses, etc.

I realize a long trip is different and try to imagine a minute to plug in at night and a second minute to unplug in the morning. All those service stations will be just serving coffee.

I believe the time you save day to day will far exceed the periodic wait when charging on the road during an extended trip.

and that is actually a stretch. It takes us max 3 seconds to plug in and 3 seconds to unplug. Maybe twice or three times a week. A lot less time in a year hanging out a a gas station. And I don't have to wonder what the last hand that touched the gas pump was scratchin just before I got there.

Just sayin....

Hmm. unless traveling. I only go to the gas station every 2 or three weeks. Spend 5 min there. And I really don't worry about the gas pump. I know how to wash my hands.


As for plugging in. I don't really want drop cords laying all over my drive way, and I would need them as I don't park in the same spot every night. Plus, I pretty sure I would forget to unplug a couple times at 4:30 in the morning, After all. once I forgot my glasses.
