Something like this might work. I don't know when or much they will sell for...

Wow... this could be just what I'm looking for. All I'd have to do is talk the landlord into letting me mooch off an existing AC outlet here and there, then wheel the thing out to my car and charge. No muss, no fuss.
Thanks for the heads-up! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I am unaware of pricing having been announced for this unit. But if I was forced to guess ... it won't be cheap (think a couple 1000 or more). But that's not all ... doing it a few times, no big deal, but doing it nightly or even several times per week will become a MAJOR annoyance. And finally, there's the element of theft/vandalism risk ... With all that in mind ... doing the electrical work for any outlet (120 or 240) near your parking spot, or charging only at work, becomes a much more viable alternative.
Additional comments: The brochure says "currently in development"; so ... availability is also unknown. In addition, there's no indication as to the # of kWh the unit stores. Therefore, it's unknown whether it will meet the "real need" from its internal battery (when it's not plugged into 120V).
