David,

The Tesla supercharger network is pretty much what you want. Not every pole but...

<div class="default-style">
They are all over at least out in CA. It can add 200 miles in only 20 minutes and they put them
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
right by restaurants, shopping malls, coffee shops, hotels, etc. The big display on the dash tells you
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
when you need a charge and directs you in. It gives options and it knows if there will be any
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
wait or anything. Pretty impressive. The future is here.
<br>
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Unfortunately, that's why the only EV I would consider right now is a Tesla...

<p>Hey, Ron:</p>
<p>I'll qualify my response by noting that I don't have an EV, so this is largely theoretical for me.</p>
<p>I like the idea of a charger on each phone pole. Seriously. Travelling between cities it seems like I could stop at a handy phone pole, whip out my credit card, get information on what that particular electricity provider is selling a KWH for, go ahead with my transaction and get a receipt. Okay, SOMEbody has to make sure that the roll of receipt paper on each phone-pole charger is kept full. 😉</p>
<p>Given that my city is gradually undergrounding telephone and electric utilities, a lack of phone poles in a city doesn't seem like a big deal; conventional charging stations would be--in the same future of phone-pole chargers--as readily available there as gas stations are now.<br></p>
<p>There's probably a lot of reasons why it wouldn't work and I'm guessing your suggestion was tongue-in-cheek, but I still like it--it's elegant. 😁</p>
<p>Best Regards</p>
<p>David Sosna</p>

The power grid is not ready, the charging stations are not ready, battery technology is better but not totally ready for prime time and more important; until the EV range is specified for 20 degrees F, I’m not interested. Regional Transit here has some EV buses and if it get too cold they can’t use them, the range drops too far. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Okay, here is my take. My first impression is this is as stupid as stupid gets. I did hear somewhere that “some” people are worried about deaf and/or blind folks not being able to hear an approaching EV. From experience, I can tell you that NO ONE even hears my F150. Many people step into traffic around here without even looking. We will probably replace my wife’s compact SUV with an EV in the near future. We already have a solar array designed to make up for the juice required and I plan to install a level 2 charger in the garage. We almost never travel far enough in that car to have to look for a charging station. As for us California guys, speaking for myself, I think I’ll be long gone before there is absolutely no petrol to be had. Somewhere down the line, it will probably get very expensive to buy (as if it is not bad already) but, I have to actually make a point of driving the Tiger and my big block Ford just to keep em running right. Car shows and Sunday drives are the norm. </span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">With all that said; I kinda like the George Jetson sound idea! I can see EV drivers gettin creative with sound effects. That could be a hoot. AND, I have to admit that I clothes pinned playing cards into the spokes of my bicycle as a kid! </span></p>
