“We are the perfect location for traveler with electric cars who want to explore the Wine Country, the coast or San Francisco all with in 10 to 20 miles,” Marshall said in a release.

I think it is an important step in making electric cars become a reality. The Nissan Leaf can take a charge in 20 minutes and thus travel by a totally electric car becomes possible. I hoping my next car can be a plug in and that there is a good choice available. They say a plug can run on the equivalent of buying gasoline at 3 cents a gallon. With all the other advantages an electric car may become the best choice.
