Good morning folks,I recall growing up on the farm, and having a 500 gallon
above ground diesel fueling tank for our farm tractor. The dairy farmers around
us had both gas and diesel tanks on site for their equipment. Fuel trucks
showed up monthly to top them off.Of course, the benefit for this has to
outweigh the operating cost of having the service. Having a dedicated 240 volt
receptacle, using electricity that is already being delivered to your location
represents a much smarter option (in my humble opinion).-Tom True Sent from my

ever be as prolific as gas stations are now. There will always be a
significant amount of people who charge primarily at home, so the demand will
be less... Don't know if that is good or bad, but I know very few people have
their own gas pumps.I sure hope so, Damon! But I also know the vested interests
in the oil and auto industries have a powerful urge to "rig" things so we can't
charge at home. They have the money and lobbies to get the laws written *their*
way. You can just imagine the arguments they will make:- Home charging cheats
on taxes. Governments won't get its fuel taxes.- Charging is dangerous. It must
be done at "safe" locations like public filling station.- Home charging will
overload the electric grid. It must be regulated to prevent brownouts and
failures.- EVs must have patented/licensed/regulated charging facilities
thatmust be regularly inspected and approved. People can't have their own gas
pumps; so they can't have their own EVSE's either.The gas-buying public at
large will agree with all of these claims. Many will even loudly defend
anything that disadvantages "them tree-hugging job-killin' liberal socialist EV
drivers". In constrast, EV drivers are an insignificant minority with
essentially no lobbying power.Sigh...-- Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists
