[ausev] Simple charger, was ROI on sustainable technologies

So Rob... I take it that your main charger is not in the RAVolt?

As a straw poll, how many Austin EV people keep their charger external
to their vehicle?  I know most of the MagneCharge production EVs would
have the chargers external, but I like the Zen completeness of having
the charger mounted in my trunk.

Granted... I pay a price for that... I am carrying the 16 pound
charger everywhere I go, at least another 10 pounds for the 25' of 30A
rated L6-30 extension cord, and 2 pounds for converters from L6-30 to
NEMA 5-15, 5-20, TT-30, 14-50, 14-30, 10-50, 10-30, & 10-20.
