Actually, no, that still has a ‘plug’; you had to insert this paddle into the car. I want to just pull up, and poof.. thing A on the ground attaches itself to my car (or wireless power) and I don’t touch a thing. The car knows when it needs a charge, and the ground knows how to bill my account. OR, that section of the power grid buys stored power off my car, because my car knows that the power stored in it was purchased off hours and is worth more during the heavy load of the day. And then, I get home, and charge it for cheap.. somehow making money just by driving around batteries to help offload the peak power generation.

Why dont electric cars just charge themselves by parking in a charging capable parking spot. Why do they all still have cables, and plugs, and blah.
