I think of our 120V distribution system as nearly ubiquitous, compared to, say, that of hydrogen, CNG or even gasoline. Maybe even methane. But I forget that the public impression may be different when people hear that they "have to plug it in."</div><div><br></div><div>Do me an experiment, Lionel. For a month or so, push your trip odometer button so as to zero it every time you start your car. Then, every time you stop your car for the night, look at the odometer. Just look. You don't need to make any fancy records, you just need to see how many miles you drive in a day, every day, day after day. Your mind will form an impression, and that impression is what we want to see, not the facts. So just look.</div><div><br></div><div>After you've developed a habit of doing this, so that you have built up a mental impression of how many miles you drive in a day, write back and let us know. I'll bet someone will be surprised.</div><div><br></div><div>--Gil</div></body></html>
