Re: Electric Vehicle Charging Set-up Part of 30-station B.C. Network, April 14 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ.

I read the above-mentioned article in the April 14 edition, and have to say that I am incensed by it!

Can anyone explain why someone who buys an electric vehicle should get free power via city-owned and supplied 91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ˜public charging stations91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™?

I have vehicles which get very good fuel-mileage (my motorcycle gets as much as 73 mpg91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ”24 km/l or 4.2l/100 km91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ”while our car gets as much as 40 mpg91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ”14 km/L or 7 L/100 kms91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ”but I do not see anyone lining up city revenues to supply me with gasoline.

How can this story not generate any public opposition?
