I absolutely ADORE this shot! Where did you find it? The French just does it for me…I’m a little biased given where I come from.

Looks like WW is already off to an amazing start! Mine’s up, too.

Hey Carmi… I took this picture in a parking deck somewhere in Paris on one of my trips there. I don’t recall seeing recharge stations at all of the parking garages, but I imagine if you drive an electric car, you can find enough of them and learn where they are that you rarely have to worry about running out of power. I think it’s brilliant.

Very cool! It amazes me that you thought to take this picture back then! Happy WW!

I’m use to plugging in a car but it’s because it gets so cold…
Here is mine

Now seriously, did you ever guess in 2003 that vehicules electriques would come into vogue five years down the road? At that time I’m sure they were still mainly a novelty item even in Europe, non?
Honestly, my prejudice leans toward a diesel-electric over hydraulic setup that nobody seems to be giving much thought to. Too bad I’m not an engineer… I could make a killing.

I was ready to bring my electric (golf) car until I read in the comment this spot was in Paris.
We didn’t see any of those while we were driving around there but maybe we didn’t know what we were seeing. :-)
Happy WW, thank you for the visit and nice comment. That is the kind of home delivery we get too, a friend or relative brings it.

BTW, did I ever tell you that I am retired and still keep my bar dues up? I taught law at a community college and only did a few legal things.

I certainly hope more electric cars will be available here in out country (Philippines), then our carparks would have these as well.
Happy WW!

Very cool, I hope the electric car catches on even more and we see a lot more of this!
Happy WW!

Great image. I saw a few parking spaces like that at a university here in California about a decade ago. I expected to see more of them cropping up… but I never did.

Wouldn’t it be nice if it was the NEAR future!!! Great shot…I’m with everyone else. It’s impressive that you thought to even take it!!

First of all, how in the world were you able to be the First in Line to sign up for WW?
I think I’m number 2,345 !
Have never been to Paris. Actually, have never been to France, but would love to visit and attend the French Open sometime.
Wonder what would happen if someone parked their horse and buggy there? Guess it wouldn’t matter as long as the horse couldn’t read.
Happy WW. Mine today is the first in a series…”Recipe for Disaster.”

Well, that takes away the last excuse for getting an electric car. :)
Great photo!

I hope we get some of those places around here. I would love to drive an electric car and never pump gas again!
November 12th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
That’s what I like to see. Now if only they sold those in my neck of the woods.
November 12th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
What a great idea! I can’t wait until electric is the standard…
November 12th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those. Cool!
