The Fee is just there to verify identity. Your name vs. name on your Credit Card.
How long until 'anonymous credit card business mimics' spring up out of the woodworks, something like "you bring us $10 cash, here's your card number, put whatever name and address you like on it? Or does something like this already exist? And I don't mean paypal, what I am referring to is a service that is indistinguishable from a real credit card on the money recipient's end that also allows you to remain anonymous.
Just like most working people, the first thing I always do when I get home is turn on my 4 or 5 plasma TVs. Since that wasn't a problem, I'm sure the electric car I buy won't be a problem either!
It may very well not be a problem, but that statement is goddamn stupid. Most of us aren't drawing that much power regularly when you get home.
Exactly! And hey, why not give the car charging a "dimmer" switch to ease the spiky nature of everyone driving/charging within roughly the same few hours every day morning and evening - if you just got home, its 6 pm and you know that you wont need to drive until tomorrow, turn it on "low" and distribute the stress on the grid over the next 12 hours instead of 3!
