Is your garage electric car ready?

Seems these cars can be charged with a regular 15 amp outlet, any 240 volt
outlet (50 amps best), or a 90 amp "4 hour charge" connection...

Supply and demand. As more electricity is needed to power cars the
cost per KW hour will increase proportionately. If you don't own an
electric car you'll be paying for your neighbors every time you turn
on a switch. If they can't get it out of one pocket they'll get it out
of another.
