Sounds like a great idea. Gary Ellis had started a Google map of businesses who were willing to allow people to plug in while they were there. I think its a great thing to start with if you all want. If we want to do this on a larger scale, we should probably put together some standard information to give to people. Anybody willing to work on that?<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">what about we start a network map of all the EV friendly outlets with options like pre booking charging times. Writing a grant to get a series of parking lots along major roads and set them up with some wind/solar assisted charging stations users earn tax credits.<br>
