Revenge of the Electric Car

NOVEMBER 27, 2008

In my rear view mirror I watched a Los Angeles Sheriff’s car pull out of the Chevron and turn on both its blue and red flashing lights to pursue me down Ventura Boulevard.

The electric grid is the most advanced energy-distribution network ever created and is constantly only a few feet away from us (far more ubiquitous than gas/ethanol/hydrogen stations). By “quickly,” I mean in 10 to 15 minutes while shopping or eating – not sitting at a Chevron station somewhere).
