Since I live in the city and occasionally go on trips out of
town I bit the bullet and purchased a Chevy Volt. It's a great
all-around vehicle and fits my needs perfectly. I normally use
no gas for all our commuting needs during the week, and if I go
long distance the range is about 340 miles with about 6 gallons
of gas. The new Volt is even more efficient with better battery
range, and the cars are cheaper than when I bought mine.

It's a hatchback and I can stuff my 17" astrograph, mount and
pier into the back and have room left over for weekend camping
stuff. Efficient, drives nice, comfortable for two people -
I'll never be without some kind of electric car.

I've only gotten as far as having the additional wiring for a
future charging station added to my home.

I need EVs to get to the point where an EV would be a
replacement, for
one of my fossil fueled vehicles. Until then, I would need to
maintain a redundant capability which makes no financial, or
environmental, sense.

If you've already had the wiring done, you'll be waiting a long,
long time, unless you don't care about charge times when on road
trips. (To charge an EV for, say, 300 miles of range as quickly as
you can gas up a regular car, you need a 3 MW charger.)
