NRG Energy is planning to put several of the 480V chargers around Houston so you can get a quick charge if you need it.

That family is making the Leaf their PRIMARY commuter car, with a 70 mile round trip.
They're paying $80 a month for unlimited access to the EV grid here in town, which means that it's unlikely they will need to do any more than top off at home in the evening.
So...$80 a month total for commuting costs gets 2 adults to work, one with a 70 mile round trip. Yup, those damned useless electric vehicles...
