If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

There is no reason why they would have done this. Plenty of opportunity to create their own slow charging network. They were about to set up a way to pay for the energy, but instead chose to shut it down. In Chicago we're in seriously need for more charging options. Is anyone interested in discussing how to create a new network, or to push to have these old Volta stations turned back on?

I think what we need is to get people together and work towards creating a new network using the cheapest most advanced available technology. Don't worry so much about fast charging because it's expensive, just strategically placed micro slow charging in parking lots of grocery stores. Make a deal where you split the profits or something.
