A few vehicle manufacturers did offer, and I think a few still do offer a car or truck that runs on compressed natural gas. You can fill at a public station or have a small cng compressor installed in your garage if you have natural gas at your home and a minimum supply flow. Consumers with a cng compressor at home and a cng burning car or truck will understand the transition to a battery electric vehicle and filling up with energy at home in the garage because that is what they have become used to.

They already know the gas pump model, and would only tolerate an EV if it works the same. I.e. they expect to drive to an "electric fuel" station, where there is a big box like a gas pump. It has a hose and a connector that plugs into their car, just like a gas pump, that will charge their car in about the same amount of time it would take to fill a gas tank. And, they want it to be *cheaper*, or they'll never change away from gas. ----rest of message cut---- _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
