Well, our LA went a tad crazy and placed several of these EV charging ornaments all over the region, yet after about 2 years i have yet to see one actually being used by any type of electric car.

Talk about putting the Cart before the horse, so far we don't even have the horse. :roll:

Nissan are pushing their leaf but the new MPV one will be out soon so there are non WAv vehicles available but the range is pretty pathetic. The thing is with charging points is that there has to be some infrastructure in place before people will by C5's and their slightly roomier modern equivalents. This is a bit of a dead end as the technology exists for clean cars (fuel cells) and the one that were invented about 30 years ago that ran on water that mysteriously disappeared but are now being manufactured in Japan as a new breakthrough :roll:

Its long been an urban myth that the oil companies buy up patents and discoveries that may threaten their petrol/diesel forecourt sales, and it seems odd that the likes of Ford, GM and VAG show us clowns cars that are electric but not proper cars the Tesla produce a viable leccy car, Tesla a fairly small company vs Ford?....WTF?
