All excellent plans suggested above! My thought are that the ISO standard for corporate environmental green footprints should also be written to include the footprint elemant of each of their employees drive to work with their vehicle of the moment! If they have this pressure, then more likely are all companies that seek ISO14001 Environmental Certification going to be motivated to install EV Chargers at work, as well as start offering employee benefits to go in addition to other existing rebates, just to make them cleaner and greener in their ratings! (Just my 2¢ worth!)

Tony, you are correct about the lamp posts, but even better will be when municipalities replace the current parking meters with charge stations. That way, some of the money currently going to the oil companies can be diverted to our city budgets. The rest of the money stays with the consumer who can then spend it on local goods and services generating local jobs. It’s a classic win/win with the only losers in that scenarios being the oil companies.

This really a very simple thing to fix! Go to Wal-Mart and have them install charging stations at ALL their stores. Along with C.N.G. filling spots and battery exchange units. Let the Federal Goverment give them some assistance and let Wal-Mart make a small profit(regulated) on these units. This way we would have these charging stations at almost every town across the U.S.A. The people that own electric cars can plan on long trips and not fear running out of elec. I doubt that there isn’t a Wal-Mart in almost every small town across this country! Of course this means that the feds. would have more control since they have to regulate the price of this service?

Every street lamp has a 120 V socket, they just have to attach some credit card charging device for the automakers to use the facility and some adaptor to insert into EV / Plugin charging unit.
