Do Electric Cars Mean We’ll See Extension Cord Shortage? | MetaCars

As most Roadster owners have probably discovered, lack of need for gasoline doesn't mean you don't need the toilet. When you're there, you might as well pick up a snack.

The chips are safe.

I've started stockpiling extension cords; I have three now. Muhaahaah!

Don't know if the supplier will allow it but a good opportunity for gas station owners is to set up their own charging stations. As the years go by it would allow for a smooth transition.

Cashflow of course will become an issue later.

I predicted this 3 years ago on the TM site listed under 'diet incentive.'

If THIS (Charging_at_Shell) starts a new trend ... maybe the potato chip industry won't have to die after all !!

Ha Ha I thought the same thing when I saw that pic.



By the way, It might be fun to start a "Electric cars will be the death of..." thread. I'm thinking of naming names. Assuming they do not shift directions:

Jiffy Lube (as mentioned elsewhere)
Smog Certification centers (In CA we have shops that are only allowed to do this and nothing else.)
Midas Mufflers
Sears Diehard

Nah. Diehard just has to make bigger, liquid cooled batteries.

Which is why I said,

. Many companies will bend but many others will die off.

Shell selling off a third of its service stations http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article7063588.eceand then just about like this?

P.S. The preview shows this picture at a reduced size and clicking will enlarge it. How could I get this picture to show directly without reduction?

Electric cars were always going to be the car that would help help the environment but like always there are pros and cons to the ideas but i think it has alot more benefits that meet the eye.
