However, the shorter European charge cycle may also be due to the use of smaller battery parks because of shorter average commutes in Europe than in the US. I recall the average round trip Japanese commute as being 10 miles vs. 25 miles in the US but I have no data for Europe.

This is happening now man- get ready. We are witnessing a revolution. Concerning the 220V outlets in Europe- can anyone expand on the advantages/disadvantages of having a system like the one in Europe? As long as my volt will fully charge in omegaman66 – the beauty of the Volt, however, is that it is using mostly off-the-shelf products that ALREADY exist. This is happening now man- get ready.

Finally one of those predictions/promises of a replacement for the ICE engine is about to make its grand entrance! Another thing:
