Greenlings: Benefits of charging stations vs. battery swaps vs. home charging

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

The three leading new options to re-supply our autos with energy are charging at home, battery swap stations and fast charge stations. Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank. They have several stations already built and plan on thousands more.
