While reading Yahoo news today I found an interesting project being explored by AAA. They currently offer gas to stranded members and are now exploring providing emergency EV charges. Pretty cool and would help with range anxiety. Range Anxiety Reducer: AAA Unveils Mobile EV Charging Trucks - Yahoo! Autos
Nice. Sounds like a good attitude test for stranded PHEV owner's "should I get the gas, or the electricity....hmm...lets see":noidea: Long time AAA members here. Sounds like they are keeping "current".
Two thoughts: 1 ) EV'rs need to contact their local people to see if they are in fact part of the program - maybe encourage expansion to YOUR area, if you're not. 2 ) (warning - humor approaching) Why not just have ANY AAA truck tow your EV around ... and let the re-gen do all the work? ... It'd save AAA the cost of a bunch of L2 and L3 charger! seriously - I DID read about someone in the European community that has already done this ... and it does work! as long as you don't mind voiding your warranty - which specifically states that Leafs are NOT to be towed.
