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

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

↓ ↑ report 6 jzj 3:24PM (4/15/2009) Polo, First, there will indeed be need for such fast charging at home because the future of a renewable energy grid will depend upon V2G energy storage, and that will require fast in-out charging. At this early stage in what amounts to a global revolution, that is to be expected.
