Out of curiosity, who paid for all of the charging stations in California? In 1990, GM made a serious commitment to manufacture and sell electric cars that they later backpedaled from. If the tax payees of California were responsible for the cost of getting the charging stations in place, then that reversal of commitment was a major blow to the public. It's not a wonder they were pissed off enough to make a documentary with an agenda.

From what I remember, it was GM in conjunction with local power companies. I am pretty sure they weren't publically funded, at least in AZ. CA might have been different, but I don't remember that being the case.
