    It's better than four hours (or 12) but it's several orders of magnitude (yes, I am using it correctly) worse than hitting a gas station.

I'd say it's about 10x faster. So isn't that one order of magnitude? Unless you are base 2 or something. :)

Except for big city dwellers, for most single car households, I don't think it works yet. But we could easily get by with one electric car.

One thing I like about electric cars and hybrids is that they are so much quieter. We live on a hill, and there is such a difference when cars are going up it.
