Never get Rev 1.0

Finally, there's a common plug for recharging electric cars. It took years to make it happen but it's real and the impact it will have on this tech will be huge.

Big names in global car manufacturers have announced a common method for charging electric vehicles. The companies are in agreement with a common charging technology for use on electric vehicles in Europe and the United States. The new method will provide special convenience by enabling car owners to charge their EVs using AC or DC from a single inlet. The charging system will allow for both alternating current and faster direct current charging on the same port. Another feature of the new system is that the charge can be done in faster time; a battery charge will take only 15 to 20 minutes.

While reading this this, I sense some bleeding edge adopters of electric cars are regretting their quick plunge into new technology when the basics of how these cars would be recharged had not been worked out until now, which brings up the mantra we techies all over the world who say, Never get rev 1.0, a fact yours truly often ignored and got burned for doing so without question. :)
