Re: GM's inductive EV death wedge

      Hi Bruce and All,
       I went to the local MPO Transportion meeting
and met the District 4 Secretary, Fla Deptment of
Transportation and talked about putting ev charging
stations along  I-4. He liked the idea.
       He asked what kind of outlets would be needed
and I said 120vac reg outlet, a 14-50 220vac range
plug and an avcon.
       Are there stock power center with these in it?
       Is there anything I can print off the web like
info, or a proposal that I could use as is or as a
starting place? We have a chance to make the standard
here for Fla. Any suggestions welcomed.
       I went to get attention to the 2009/11 oil
production peak with it's steep rise in gasoline
prices so they will have a plan in place to ramp up
mass transit to cope with it.
      And to promote a system of mostly EV low speed
vehicle roadways, a 2 lane regular road makes a 5 lane
low speed vechicle road, as a solution for  traffic
congestion, parking, pollution problems.
            Thanks in advance,
                       jerry dycus  
    PS. I believe that GM did the inductive paddle to
make sure the EV-1 would fail on economic grounds.    
 
      That's what you get when you have a satelite
company, Hughes, design a battery charger.
