Yeah, and almost all the comments could be made about gasoline supplies and oil. Subsidies, pollution, etc., etc., what is needed is some education here, but even with all the information at the fingertips, it doesn't happen.
Gentleman... the negative comments show that people are afraid of change or are unwilling to change. If the launch of the Model S goes off without a hitch then maybe people will begin to accept EVs as part of the automotive future.
The state plans to install a medium-speed charger at the Custer rest area along I-5, part of a demonstration for visitors from Canada. But it can't install and activate the station until it finds a sponsor to pay for the electricity costs, which are expected to be minimal, Buell said. Underground electrical work has already taken place to get the rest area ready for the station.
There will be a fee for electricity at most of the stations, which will be on private property. But at the two rest-stop stations (which are public property) the state is unable to charge for electricity due to a complex set of laws--largely concern about the state competing with private interests. The state is also not allowed to give things away at taxpayer expense. So...they need to find a sponsor to give it away at the sponsor's expense.
In practice, this is no big deal. L2 chargers at two rest stops in the state are hardly going to get any use, especially with DCQC stations in range. I'm not sure why the state even put these in.
We did consider that. But I think it's a better match for the state's EVA's to band together and sponsor them. Better yet, use an organization like Adopt-A-Charger, which was created just for this purpose. I believe we pointed the WA DOT at Adopt-A-Charger, but I'll check to make sure that really happened.
