I don't see the recharge time as a big problem IF you can recharge at home. I don't think most folks don't drive over 100 miles a day. Average workday for me is about 25 miles if I run errands
How many hours a day is your car/bike sitting parked at either work or at home? Maybe extension cords at work could become employee perks :lol:

They already have parking spaces with outlets in CA...

I was thinking a fold-up solar panel for the bike, but that's probably unnecessary and probably wouldn't charge it significantly anyway.

A trailer with nothing but panels. Charge while you ride.

There was an electric car design a while back that had an optional trailer with a gas generator in it to turn the car into a hybrid. :shrug:

I remember that. It had a moderate range on battery alone, so that was the solution for a long distance trip.

If those outlets were heavily used, and 220 to boot, then business would most likey start charging for thier usage. Right now, one car a day lugs in, they dont even notice the blip in the monthly bill.

However, when it makes a noticeable bump in the business bottom line, they will take notice. I envision something like parking meters, when you plug in, your VIN and its accompanying payment info gets logged, and you get charged appropriated.
