The challenge about owning electric cars is to find battery charging stands. They’re not easily available unlike petrol stations which has already fully saturated, especially in cities. Google has been known to support electric vehicle concept for a long time, and many of their vehicles are also electric or hybrid. The good folks over at the search engine giant has teamed up with the US Department of Energy and more than 80 companies to form the GeoEVSE Forum, an organization aimed at bringing diverse electric car resources under a single umbrella. Looking for one of those elusive Best Buy charging stations? Use the Google Maps database, helmed by the DOE, which currently offers some 600 alternative fueling stations, including electric charging, hydrogen, and natural gas. Hopefully Google will spread their wings to international stage as well.
