True that. However, if 80% of people can "refuel" their electric car at home, most of them will do so. No doubt there will be all sorts of other alternative fuels people will be using, not to mention the occasional battery-powered customer's car that needs a juice. This, however, is not the volume of traffic Exxon stations are used to. Best to sell while the books look good.

I'll offer them 10 cents on the dollar.
