No,
there isn’t a campaign to socialize our high utility costs.
Instead, different strategies
to deal with the issue of providing energy to the growing electric car market are
being explored in different countries. Currently, in America, there are charge
stations available in certain locations, but nothing designed to support a broad
customer base.
In Israel, the electric car
market has been developing over the last few years (since 2008), and it looks
like 2011 is the big debut as electric cars and chargers flood the Israeli
market, intended to ultimately represent 30% of the market. They have met their
deadline so far, and one of the pressing issues is how Israel, who depends a
lot on burning coal and oil for energy, will be able to provide the energy for
the vehicles to run and for society to continue to run smoothly.
The proposed model is that the
projected two million cars (yes million) will be connected to a grid and
managed by shared software that will coordinate and manage recharging “without
the addition of a single generator or transmission line.” How this will be
accomplished is not specified but we can guess.
