Wow ... so much negativity.
Tony knows the obstacles to L3 better than most. Like all of us he's watched the endless string of promises and forecasts while we continue to wait for the first commercial L3 charger in California... someday. But Tony also tried to put together a non-profit co-op to build our own charging stations while the companies and government agencies dithered, and in so doing learned about the obstacles. Some obstacles like California's demand charge I know, having tried myself to pencil out a plausible business plan for the non-profit. I'm sure there are other obstacles I don't know.
I think the truth is somewhere between Tony's view and the rosy view of all the press releases, and L3 will finally arrive. The most hopeful sign is that companies like EVOasis and Chargebliss know all the obstacles as thoroughly as does Tony, and they still plan to build quick charging stations and make a profit from it.
