Yep, the DOE projections show that by 2020 less than 3% of vehicles on the road will be EV or plug in hybrid.

And wouldn't it kind of suck to have a nice cheap rental house, where you charge your EV and have it sold out from under you when the lease goes month to month? Then find that only appartments where you cant charge your vehicle are in your price range?

I have had that happen, 3 months after my lease in virginia was up and it went month to month, suprize the owner wants to sell the house.
