Tesla to blanket the US with supercharging stations in 2 years
http://www.businessinsider.com/tesla...pansion-2013-5



Tesla drivers will be able to drive from Los Angeles to New York using the electric car company's Supercharger network by the end of this year, CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday night at the Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital Conference.

The network, which currently consists of only nine active stations, seven of which are in California, was already set to increase to 100 stations by 2015.

Instead, Tesla is planning "a dramatic acceleration of the Supercharging network," Musk said at the conference. "It'll be tripled. We'll put the map live tomorrow."

As the network expands, software in the Tesla cars automatically updates, so drivers will be routed to nearby Superchargers when necessary.

That expansion will be a tremendous boon for drivers, as the biggest problem for electric vehicles is the lack of cheap, powerful battery technology. That shortcoming keeps ranges limited, charge times long, and prices high.

Musk acknowledged the power of range anxiety in making potential customers wary of battery-powered electric cars, saying, "when people buy a car they're buying a sense of freedom that they can go wherever they want and not feel fettered."

At Superchargers, Tesla owners can charge their car batteries halfway in 30 minutes, for free. If the network really expands at the rate and density Musk promises, it will be a tremendous advantage for his customers.

electricity is a universal form of energy that can be produce a variety of ways. That allows for competition in it's production. Going forward the amount of renewable forms of electricity production will increase which is a good thing. It's allows for a 'ramping up' of the conversion to renewable power transportation, which is probably the only way the country would ever embrace it.

Yes, I know. Renewable is great, but the ROI sucks (and most likely always will) compared to nuclear and fossil fuel generation. We could blanket every square inch of our country with wind and solar generation, and still not meet demand.

I doubt seriously this will ever happen. There is too much ****ing money to be made off combustion engines. A niche probably. But not widespread at all

Given that photovoltaic production has followed Moore's Law, they should be able to provide the majority of the world's energy needs within fifteen years. Supplement that with nuclear energy, wind energy, and hydrocarbons, and it seems like a wise investment to me.

First, anyone with a brain should care. Second, claiming that it gets us headed in the right direction is just hopeful thinking as opposed to factual speech.

Errr, I'm not pimping oil. Most of our electrical generation is created by burning coal and NG. And nuclear.
