Dicks: they can suck one.

Seriously, when California stops having rolling blackouts every summer, let me know.

We had a guy from GM come in a few months ago and give a presentation on the Volt and some of the design issues they faced. Plug in areas were one of the things they discussed and their decision to keep with the standard plug was on part due to the large areas in the north where parking lots supposedly (I haven't been to the North Dakota, or Minnesota, etc to see for my self) they already have a large infrastructure for this in parking lots for engine block heaters. Now, I would think that these areas would already have the infrastructure to support electric vehicles widely at a greatly reduced cost than this, though it obviously doesn't feature all of the things that this incentive does, it is a pretty good head start.

@rlfz72: Yeah, those plugs for block heaters are pretty standard throughout the northern parts of Canada too. The problem is, extreme cold and batteries don't mix.
