We have to admit that when it comes to cars that have an internal combustion engine things are quite easy. When the fuel is ending you just go to a gas station and problem solved, you can continue the trip.
Problems appear when it comes to electric vehicles and of course the best thing would be to have an EV-station beside the gas one. Few Japanese oil wholesalers announced that they will install 27 charging stations between Tokyo and Kanagawa in the first three months of next year. Of course, this is only a start and it is not really that impressive if you take into consideration the number of plug-in vehicle available so far and the ones that will be sold in Japan in the future.
The pricing technique will be a little special and a little more complicated than in the case of the gas/diesel car owners that have to pay the amount of fuel poured into their tanks. The EV owners will have to pay a fixed monthly price of $ 38.62 for unlimited charges no matter the station used.
