How do I plug my electric vehicle in at home?

green.autoblog.com — As electric vehicles begin to find their way to people's driveways, knowing what's involved with charging up the batteries becomes more necessary. Over the years, EVs have used different kinds of batteries and employed different types of chargers and connectors, so the car you buy next year may not work with the charger you picked up last month.

  • MathieuB, on 11/09/2009, -0/+8Great informative article, I didn't know that there was that many type of plugs for EV. Looking forward to a standard, which should accelerate introductions of EV, bring plugs to gaz stations and lower prices of EVs over time.
  • numberneal, on 11/09/2009, -1/+7plug it into a loooooooong extension cord and drive freely
  • jeremiahjw, on 11/09/2009, -1/+5I don't have an electric car. :-(
  • pwarnock, on 11/09/2009, -0/+2How is the electric infrastructure going to accommodate plug-ins? While affluent Tesla owners set up panels on top of their garages, not everyone can afford to do that.
  • askantik, on 11/12/2009, -0/+1Nissan has some (albeit limited) deets on their site about how the Leaf will work using both the standard and quick charge. Apparently part of the sales process of the car is a Nissan person coming to your home to help fit your home with the charging station.
