Remember that home recharging is a pure benefit of electric cars, most people can’t refill their gas cars at home.

Centralized charging stations are the answer, of course, and cost effective because the government will pay for them.

A typical gas station will have maybe 6-20 pumps. A charging station with that many plugs would still need some serious amperage coming in off the grid. Of course, the government will pay for upgrading the grid too (free to the taxpayer).

But that's a long way off at the rate electric cars will be selling.

Your comment about filling up at home reminded me of the Greenie hypocrite, John Denver, who had huge gasoline storage tanks installed at his ranch.

1. Nothing the Gov’t pays for (or subsidizes) is ‘cost-effective.

2.... Gov’t will pay for upgrading - free to the taxpayer.... REALLY? Lib-think in process, where dpes the Gov’t get the monies to pay for the upgrade? What makes you think the service to charge your car will be free, even after the Gov’t uses YOUR money to upgrade the facilities?
