BMW begins Phase 2 of ChargeForward Program with PG&E to study advanced electric vehicle charging; results from Phase 1

Green Car Congress

Building on the functionality tested in the first phase of the BMW ChargeForward initiative, the new phase will explore the ability to optimize charging events, whether the vehicle is charging at home or on the go. The total amount earned over the two years depends upon individual participation in charging events.

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. The rest of your claims are equally mind-numbingly dumb.
