I support any efforts to move away from our dependence on oil, although electrical energy is not always the most environmentally friendly way to go, given run of river over-damming and dirty fuel burning to achieve electricity.
As a taxpayer, fixed-income at that, I would like to know who pays for the charging station electricity that individuals use to charge their vehicles? There does not appear to be any method of charge-station payment.
Does that mean that someone with an electric car can charge their battery on the dime of taxpaying hydro customers? It would be nice to get some clarification on this. I would not be happy to think that Mr. Electric Car owner is fueling his vehicle at my expense.
