As far as I can tell, L2 at a business is pointless for anyone other than employees. With modern EV's, adding 10 or 20 miles while you eat or shop is just silly. I could see L2 being useful for Hotels. Otherwise, charge at home. DC Fast charging at appropriate locations is useful, but it needs to be a location where you are probably only going to be there for an hour or so, AND are likely to have driven quite a ways. Restaurants along highways, rest areas, etc... Or in locations with a high density of people who can't charge at home. -- Worlds only All Electric F-250 truck! http://john.casadelgato.com/Electric-Vehicles/1995-Ford-F-250 _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
