Apparently so!.. lets see what the EV uptake is this year with all those incentives.

I believe there are laws or regulations that say only PUs can sell electricity. See, for example, this post made by EV Oasis: EV Oasis DC Charging Networkericsf said:Their answer was interesting. They said that they discussed that option with Coulomb. Coulomb told them that they cannot charge by KWh because of a law (no details) that says that only Public Utilities can do that.

For 2011, 1.47% of cars sold in the entire country were electric. The next is Denmark, with 0.21% and the Netherlands with 0.16%.
Norway, with less than 5 million inhabitants, is in third place in electric car sales for Europe, only surpassed by France and Germany (which have massively larger populations).
Currently CHAdeMO fast chargers are being installed along highways.
Now Walgreens has clarified that where possible, its electric car charging stations will be ultra-fast rapid DC charging stations -- capable of charging compatible cars like the 2011/12 Nissan Leaf and 2012 Mitsubishi i from empty to 80 percent full in just 30 minutes.
About 150 of the 800 charging stations will be the DC rapid-charging station.
paying $4 to recharge? We’d gladly pay for the convenience of a 30-minute recharge, Wouldn't you?

An electric car that I didn't recognize as even being electric is featured pretty prominently as the protagonists main vehicle (and unfortunately, a bit of a joke). There's even a scene in one episode where it show's him unplugging it as they're going after the bad guys.

It's a Think City. 2008-2011 model year. I don't think the series portrays the EV in a bad light in any way.
Really? So far every report of a dealer with QC (L3 is actually something else) has turned out to be bad info from dealership personnel who don't know the difference between L2 and QC.jtrosario said:... And my closest Nissan dealer is one of the few with an L3 installed. I'm really looking forward to delivery of my Leaf now, my personal "range-anxiety" is completely gone!
"Market rate" is hard to get at for electricity. Here, residential night time electricity (when you normally recharge at home) costs about 1/3 as much as residential day time electricity (when you would likely be recharging at a public facility). Commercial rates (at which the public charger use would be billed) are maybe 1/2 as much as residential. But then if a single usage at a QC station draws more than 20 kW during any 15 minute period of the month, it may incur an additional $800 demand fee. And the market rate of a parking space in which to do the charging is usually several times more than the market rate of the electricity itself. So 2x "market rate" might be $0.17/kWh or it might be $1,600 per charge.toasty said:i would be willing to pay 2x market rate for the power.. (no more)..
