Western Michigan University installs Prius/Volt Charging Stations!?
http://www.ceas.wmich.edu/PHEVData/PHEV/
The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences have been doing this since I graduated and it looks like they've got some tangible results in the installation of this thing at the CEAS West Parking Deck.. For those "It's just a Prius.." balkers.. do you REALLY thing GM was going to give WMU a pre-pro (w/ proprietary info) VOLT? Nah.. just go buy a Prius and f'k it up. Gotta love my Alma Mater.. now we just need PHEAs- Plug In Electric Airplanes for the College of Aviation. Hmm.. *rushes off to patent office* |

The Volt looks so cool.

The tree hugging morons can't even park inside the lines.

The Volt is already being sold to the public. Although considering it's sales numbers I can see how you didn't know that.

Not like the lines are going to be used by anything else than a Volt or Prius in a photo op/test setup..
Guess the same could be said about "Gas Sucking Rednecks" like you and me at a gas station. (Seriously.. does anyone park straight at a gas station?) Quote:

Who wants to bet you will soon see an orange tailed Prius driving around Kalamazoo?

Still, the lack of charging stations makes electric cars a scary thought. I think it is great that WMU is doing what a university should do, help their engineering students challenge the boundaries. Go Broncos!
