Do you think that Government Motors CEO Obama realizes the competitive disadvantage at which he placed his own company?
Tesla claims the car can be recharged in 3.5 hours using a 240-volt, 70-amp line, but that requires serious rewiring for the average mansion. My co-driver friend, Nick, took us to his home a few miles away in Half Moon Bay, and we proceed to swap the 15-amp, 240-volt breaker in his garage for a 30-amp. Tesla includes a standard 120-volt, 15-amp plug, but that would be like filling a 55-gallon drum one drop at a time. A full charge would take a day and a half.

Here is the Beauty Part, the ACES legislation requires 120V plugs be installed in all New Garages and Parking Areas. I have maintained from the start of EV nonsense that the only way to charge a vehicle battery is 240V charging system in a pure electric play, PHEVS are going to be Gas powered battery holders because battery power is not required.
