Check this out:



These are ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING STATIONS and guess where they are appearing at? BEST BUY PARKING LOTS.

Of course gas stations can begin adding these charging stations too, but in reality these chargers can be installed anywhere car drivers gather including store chains like Best Buy.

Read "Electric card charging stations coming to Best Buy" at Digitaltrends.com
Those rock. You could plug your car in while shopping or whatever. I think eventually we will get to the place where most electric cars can get a full charge in about 5 minutes (with the correct charger) and we will have things just like gas stations. You pull in, plug your car in and while it fills you can buy something to drink, a snack, some cigs whatever.

I know it takes about 5 minutes to fill a big gas tank now so it won't be much different.

I think we are finally in a place where something like this can be viable and finally embraced by the masses.
