Don't forget, John installed two charging stations in his garage because
he fully expected his renters to drive electric cars. What happened to
the housemate/rental plan? Then again, he also tried to tell them they
couldn't have cell phones, needed to chip in on his landline.

I'm not against electric cars. I am against expecting paying for every
place have a charging station. I live in the boondocks. Public
charging stations at grocery stores, etc. aren't going to happen here
any time soon. And before they do I really want to know the statistics
of people actually driving electric cars before I am expected to pay via
vehicle/road tax for charging stations.

A person in a condo who insists on a charger in the garage should be
assessed an extra fee. Why should anyone else pay for it? In that
situtation the electric bill should not be aggregated. IMHO.

But for the sticker on cars, Kuthe isn't special. He merely paid the
appropriate vehicle tax. Ho hum.
