Only place I have seen anything that even shows any shift to Electric Cars is 4 large Shopping Malls in San Jose CA. One year I went there, and they actually had Parking Spots in the Parking Lot that let you plug in your Car. At that time it was a Free Recharge. Two Years Later....Same Parking Spots, but Pay Meters, cost $5 per hour to plug and load. When I questioned one of the Frye store employees, why they had gone to Pay, he stated that Electricity was so high in California, they had to start charging. Plus a few people with Electric Prototypes had found these spots, would Plug in and go across the Mall to go to work. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Technotronic Dimensions" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:07 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: **** Notice!!!!! > Yea I tend to Agree.
