Comments on: Car Companies Standardize Plug for Electric Vehicles http://gas2.org/2009/04/19/car-companies-agree-on-plug-standard-for-electric-vehicles/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

When automakers were designing openings for gas and diesel tanks they didn,t publicize that information to the whole free world. The same rule should apply here, just design the plug and install it quietly, we'll catch on soon enough.

If so, that seems like a further obstacle to sales. Could an electrician inexpensively add a 400V circuit to my existing wiring? So if 400V becomes the standard, will that mean homeowners won’t be able to recharge their cars at home on the usual 120V-240V circuits available in most US homes?

If so, that seems like a further obstacle to sales.

The plug has 7 pins, with 3P+N+E, 1 pin for connection detection and 1 data pin. The standard allow for 1 phase or 3 phase 230V charge, which the charge station will be able to negotiate with the connected car. Charge can be at 16A, 32A or 63A. This means that even the most feeble electrical US house installation with a minimal 220V supply will be able to fit into the single phase charge of the standard. With an upgraded installation charge time will be able to be much faster, using up to 43KW. 2009-04-21 DA: Industrigiganter går sammen om stik til elbiler EN: Industry giants agree on plug for electrical cars http://www.danskenergi.dk/Nyheder/Nyhedsoversigt/2009/09_04_21A.aspx Product presentation sheet: http://www.danskenergi.dk/~/media/Filer_til_nyheder/Standard_Stik_Elbil_2009.pdf.ashx Again about the photo, I see that it has now been changed to a Prius plug-in hybrid. It does not solve the problem because it is still unclear what relation it has to the article. I understand the desire to have a photo at each article, but could you then not put a caption on the images, in this case saying that it is a model photo of some plug, not the actual plug standard.
