Mahi Reddy, a Maryland entrepreneur, is setting up places where city dwellers can plug in their electric cars. Reddy intends for Sema Connect, his company, to sell electric hookups "to hotels, apartment complexes, office buildings and other businesses for electric car drivers to use." Reddy said that users would get "a little smart card, and every time you wave it in front of one of these devices, it recognizes that. And that will be linked to your credit card account and would charge your card."
The technology does this by metering how much electricity you use and then connecting wirelessly to the Web." The stations would "cost about $2,500 to install," but there is no indication yet of what rate the users would pay for the charge.
