Auto Makers Announce Electric Car Charging Standard

Posted by timothy on from the this-could-change-my-mind-when-widespread dept.

Overly Critical Guy writes "Auto makers are launching a universal EV charger that charges an electric vehicle in 15 to 20 minutes. The standard, called Combined Charging System, has been approved by the Society of Automotive Engineers and ACEA, the European association of vehicle manufacturers, as the standard for fast-charging electric vehicles."

    ...it is even possible to do it manually (using a gas canister) if car ran out of gas before you reached the station.

    Do you have a citation for that assertion or are you just making that up?

    You want a citation for "carrying a spare gallon of fuel in a fuel can in the trunk"?

    Jesus. What are you, a wikipedia editor?
