it didn't seem to help Toyota much.
Doesn't take much 'going' to 'figure' on that one though.
 
dis shit costs a fortune

And guess what, just a cursory glance at the Leaf
tells you it is even worse.

"A fast charge 'service station' designed to simultaneously fast charge multiple vehicles in the way current gasoline or diesel stations simultaneously refuel multiple vehicles might require a peak power service on the order of several megawatts.

The high peak power requirement of ten-minute charging can also stress the local power grid and might increase the risk of power brown- or black-outs during peak demand if enough vehicles choose to charge at these times."

Well no shit sherlock

210,000 watts are you fuckin' kidding me?
 
Fast Charge public charging stations that supply electricity for a fee or free.

For free? Sign me up. For a fee? I want gasoline (not ethanol or some other tampered with high temperature creating substitute)
 
Chevy Volt is a major fiasco

hah there's no free lunch
these things would cost a fortune to operate
and be a royal pain in th ass to boot

If you use the fast charge method it slashes the battery packs life

eight hours to charge on 120

at least three on 240v

and even a back of the napkin calculation of the electricity costs
combined with the higher purchase price makes these things items
that will never ever enter the mainstream

not as long as there's petrol engined cars

but Algore and Osama will try to jack the price of a gallon of gas up
too ten bucks a gallon to ram these glorified golf carts down our throats?
