Default Electric cars a step nearer mainstream?

Tue, 27 May 2008, The Natural Philosopher remarked:
There's also the problem of people not necessarily having access to
charging sockets at either home _or_ work currently, which would
require a LOT of infrastructure upgrades in order to be provided.


Domestically its a twelve hour charge overnight on cheap rate. Easy
enough for those with garages and well within domestic supply limits.

For regulated car parking, again easy enough to add socket-in-pole
charging meters.


Wring bit of the infrastructure. The problem is having enough power
delivered to the "socket in pole" and domestic equivalent.
