Yeah, that's a good point. Fortunately, I think it will be fairly cheap to make a large number of plugs, except for maybe the beefed-up electric infrastructure.

- chiph 14y agoThe Santa Fe railroad had a similar problem - how to feed an entire train of passengers in the 30 minutes it took to take on water (steam locomotives typically run out of water before running out of coal). Their solution was to partner with a restaurant operator, supplying his restaurants with fresh produce & refrigerated meat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Harvey_Company#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Harvey_Company#History If McDonalds was smart, they'd sponsor charging stations at their restaurants. Park your electric car, swipe a credit card, go get your McMeal, use the bathroom, etc.
