Same thing for Sweden or Scandinavia. Most homes have electrical plugs at their parking spots and they have built in timers which can be setup to turn on at a specific time. This is needed for cars that have cabin heaters and engine block heaters installed. So by the time you set off for work all of the snow and ice has already been melted off the windows.

What Feasibility study are they talking about. Don't we spend 10 mins on a highway gas station, what is the big deal in putting power outlets on says 10 parking lots and charge $2 (should not costs $0.50 to the retailer) for a 10 minute quick recharge of the batteries. Mind you, the gas pump owner does not make that much money on a full gas tank.
