Interesting. I wish I could help with the discussion. My mowers are working fine at the moment. I found your blog doing a search.

My main concern for this vehicle and every other EV regardless of pure EV, gas range extended, hydrogen fuel cell extended etc is the plug itself! Someone needs to set and enforce a standard for the plug and port on the vehicles otherwise you will have the same problem as with any other electronic device today... everyone has their own damn connector. If these vehicles are going to go anywhere they all need the same receptacle so at home or on the road it can be charged. And nobody better dare to mention converters or adapters!

Does anybody know what type of plug the Chevy Volt would use for the 240 volts? I work for Eaton Electrical and we manufacture power outlet boxes for RV hook-ups. You can find these at most Lowes stores for about $21.00 and I have already talked with our quality engineer and the electrical hook-up of a box to the breakers and providing 240 power to a garage or one of our stand units is very easy and inexpensive. So if anybody buys a volt, of course they will spend the $21.00 for a box and a few dollars for the two of our ground fault breakers and some electrical wire, in order to charge their volt in a much shorter time. Especially when this is quite possible the wave of the future. I drive 80 miles a day in an s-10 getting 18 mpg 6 days a week. I want a volt now. If somebody can let me know the guys in the shop and I could probably have a prototype in a day, if they use a normal outlet. I am curious about the 120-240 volts.
