Source: Bill Moore, EV World An EV World reader emailed me earlier this week and asked me what is going to become a more frequently asked question: "What do I need to know before I hire someone to install a home charger? " Starting this weekend with the first delivery of a Nissan LEAF to a customer in Northern California, we can expect to have upwards of 20,000 families asking that question in 2011 as they start to take delivery of the first 10,000 Chevrolet Volt electric hybrids and a comparable number of all-electric LEAFs, for starters. By 2012, we'll start seeing some really exciting numbers from both GM and Nissan, as well as other entrants like Fisker, Think, and Coda, along with Toyota. By 2013, the numbers will be reaching in the hundreds of thousands… at least we hope they do. (I am keeping my fingers crossed). There are going to be LOTS of folks asking this same question; and the answer starts with a very basic question in return: Where do you plan to charge the vehicle?
