Aren't you supposed to building up your electric infrastructure to accommodate this -- or ironically, can the resultant lack of affordable power nip the widespread applications of electric vehicles in the bud?<br /><br />James Greenidge<br />Queens NYjimwghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964988758509076556noreply@blogger.com
