DOE's Twitter Q&A

In conjuction with Obama's "Clean Fleets" speech today the Department of Energy entered the social networking arena and solicited questions on Twitter:

"We’ll be joined by a Clean Fleets expert starting at 2:30 EST. Send us your questions about reducing oil consumption and clean vehicle tech!"

I submitted the following and it was the first question taken:

Q: Where is the public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles?

A: We are supporting efforts to rapidly expand the number of public chargers available across the country.
In the past 6 months alone we have increased the number of chargers considerably.
To locate a public charger in your area, check out our Alternative Fueling Station Locator: http://go.usa.gov/2sT #EV #Cleancities

When will they get the reality that a listing of stations without identifying what type of connectors are available is pretty darned useless. But thanks for asking the question.
