    Default 20 electric vehicle charging stations ready for free use

    Western Michigan University officials say 20 electric vehicle charging stations ready for free use

    "There’s no other university in the nation that has this many charging stations," said WMU University Relations Director Cheryl Roland. "It’s fairly unusual for us to have."

    A majority of the electric charging stations can be found near the Miller Auditorium parking ramp, by the university’s 50-kilowat photovoltaic (PV) array that was installed in November 2011. The 15 charging stations near the Miller ramp are powered by the 18-panel array.

    A stock broker, driving home from Wall Street, comes to a complete halt in traffic and thinks to himself "Hmm...this is much worse than usual". He notices a police officer walking between the lines of stopped cars, and asks "What's going on?"

    The officer replies, "Rush Limbaugh is depressed, has stopped his car, and is threatening to douse himself in gasoline and set himself on fire. He is despondent about losing his advertisers. We are taking up a collection for him." The broker asks, "How much have you gotten so far?" The officer replies, "About 75 gallons, but a lot of folks are still siphoning."
