> having to remember to plug it in I have had an electric car for eight years now. I think I may have missed plugging it in twice, as I got distracted by unloading. Neither time a big problem as my regular commute is 15-20% charge. As I step out of the car I walk past the cable. It takes 5 seconds to plug it in. My small solar panel installation on the garage deliver 4 MWh in a year, which is about what the car uses. Albeit not exactly when the car needs it, but that is covered by my share of the wind power co-op I am part of, and of course the rest of the grid. Cheaper than gas (by a lot), no cancerous fumes and less climate emissions. Not going back from that.
