Andy Kinard, President of Car Charging Group, Inc. said that if automakers, such as Nissan, GM, Ford, Tesla, & Fisker can eliminate what he called the largest obstacle facing the industry—range anxiety—electric vehicles could reach a mainstream market quickly.

The deployment of faster and more efficient charging stations that eliminate range anxiety are necessary in order to ensure the adoption of the estimated 40 million plug-in electric vehicles expected on the roads by 2030 according to a study on the PHEV market conducted by the National Academy of Sciences.

The addition of a stand-alone gas pump-type station that has a comparable charge time to traditional gasoline fueling will create a revenue stream for gas station owners and better accommodate urban areas with little or no off-street parking.
