http://realestate.msn.com/6-easy-ways-to-get-your-garage-ready-for-a-plug-in-car?GT1=35009&wa=wsignin1.0
It is not just affording the car, there is where to put the thing once you got it. I for one live in an upstairs apartment building and there are no set electric plugins for a car to be plugged into. So for people who live in multiplexes as I do where do we plug in?
Breath On The Wind–What about those people who live in the middle of no where on dirt roads? Some of them live so remotely that there is barely electric lines to have electricity in their homes. Also there are still places here in the world were people still have no electric, no running water, and outside bathrooms called an outhouse….explain to me how that is going to work for those people too? I have to remind you I live in an apartment complex. We have more of a parking lot than a street. The company that owns this place would have to agree to put in those charging stations first. And you are talking about all electric everything to run vehicles….what about the power stations that can not handle the use of electric now? How is that to be fixed in order to have electric highways, streets, and parking spots?

You seem to be asking how it will be possible for people to charge an electric car who do not own a garage. Can you recall seeing a WWII movie where the mobile communication device fit into a backpack on one of the soldiers backs? http://www.navy-radio.com/xmtr-ww2-port.htm Even as recently as 25 years ago we refereed to the "Brick" telephones ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7432915/ns/technology_and_science-wireless/t/first-cell-phone-true-brick/ )that would remain charged for only about 20 minutes unless they were plugged into your car. Someone may have asked then how is someone going to own a phone if they don’t have a car.

Technology changes and as it does it begins to reach more people. Presently the best way to charge an electric car is with a garage based charging station. Although the Volt will not charge its batteries the plug in prius may. It is possible to configure a "sometimes series hybrid by putting a generator on the back of the vehicle to charge batteries.1 The power source may not be a petrol generator but a fuel cell (2) or solar panels (3) to add charge to batteries.

There are plans to add many more public charging stations on the streets. Presently we use wired connections but it is possible to wirelessly charge a vehicle like an electric toothbrush.4 From wireless charging it is a short technological step to electrified roadways and electric vehicles with unlimited range, no charging times, no need to stop for charging and continue to have the clean, quiet, highly efficient, and virtually maintenance free vehicle that electric vehicles promise.5

EDIT: To your additional concerns: There will always be some who do not use electric cars as there are some who continue to use horses or walk for transportation. It may be personal preference, price or circumstances. Even when laws are passed that dictate that everyone must do… not everyone does. Some will make lifestyle changes for the choices they prefer. We frequently do change our living arrangements for marriage and family issues. Or we make do in some way. A clever EV owner might make arrangements to house their vehicle with a nearby private home owner. But it it doesn’t work for you or you don’t care to own one then you will pursue other options. I don’t think anyone expects 100% of the population to purchase an EV tomorrow if they were available.

Our electric grid is stressed for daytime peak usage. 84% of the present fleet of vehicles could be charged at night off peak if they were switched to electric. http://www.greenbiz.com/news/2006/12/11/mileage-megawatts-enough-grid-capacity-charge-plug-vehicles

Not lazy or blowing ya-ll off …Friends till the end is my motto… Therese just not enough time in a day you know we all say those words from time to time.. Since I was struck by a car back in 2000 I can’t sit for very long and can’t stand as long as I can sit,, still able to make it to the fishing holes and drive from here to there also For the last year I have been looking to buy a newer place thought I had found aplace its a short sale some one unforchenitly lost just what I have been looking for… I’ve been looking to buy another palace and have some one ready to buy mine but as of Friday it looks as tho the bank wants to drag there feet when they know i’m out here with cash money no fininicing… I’ll tell you all one thing even ithow we here reshion in realestate market its hard to find a place one likes and that’s what that’s taking up a lot of my time. So all of you Larry, Judy and the rest of my farmville friends I’m not just blowing you all off, I’m just tiring to find the time to get my farm growing and hopefully get in a harvest in this year be pashont with me all will work out for the best…"Farmers are the strength of the Americans" best"… lol

Tell them the truth. I had a contact get mad at me because I stopped playing in January so I haven’t sent her stuff and I simply said that I was working on getting my nursing degree and I’d rather have a degree in nursing than a 100 level farm like her. Truth hurts but it’s true. No virtual gift can match having a nursing career.

Hi!

It seems kind of sketchy to me, but let me know if it seems like that to you too. I don’t want to get involved in some crazy scam.

100% scam.

There is no job.

There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money and maybe your freedom.

The next email will be from another of the scammer’s fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "assistant" and will demand you accept packages purchased with stolen credit cards, hi-jacked paypal accounts and spoofed bank transfers, at YOUR home address. Then you are suppose to use a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number to send the electronics, clothing and jewelry overseas. When the websites, credit card/paypal/bank account owners and UPS/FedEx discover the fraud, you get the real life job of paying back all of them. Then the local law enforcement comes knocking asking why are you fencing stolen merchandise for someone you never met, don’t know their real life name and have no idea even what country they really live in.

Another email will be from the scammer and will demand you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the money via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the "supply company" while you "keep" a portion of the cash. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank’s money you sent to an overseas criminal.

Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his ‘potential sucker’ list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of being the perfect buyer, great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.

You could post up the email address that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.

Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don’t bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn’t worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.

Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.

6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.

Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed ‘red flags’ and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason.

If you google "fake re-shipping job", "fraud money mule scam", or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near victims of this type of scam.

For the Eygypt-like location I have Visa level three. When my sim got home I went her cell ready to buy a vaction home but there was no option for ‘buying a vacation home’, there was however an option to open ‘check realestate’ (or something like that) though in the purchasable section I don’t see any vacation homes.
To get the option do I have to get level three in all locations or do I go somewhere else (rather than just the phone)?

Thanks

You have to call on your cell phone while you’re on vacation in the Egypt-like location.

Hi there,
I read this and it sounds suspiciously like something that was on MSNBC. It was a special called to catch and identity thief. Basically what they do is send goods from random credit cards that they order illegally to your address. Then they will have you go and forward it along. The lack of interview and away on business was key for me. Chris Harrison (the same guy that did To Catch A Predator) did this story, maybe look it up? I would not get involved. I understand how hard it is to find work with the economy, trust me, been unemployed a year, but it sounds fishy. I wouldn’t risk it. I think you can get in some serious trouble too if they trace it to you. Even if you had no clue. Hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!

Run from this potential employer. It’s a drop shipper scam. You will possibly be exporting illegal goods or be sent a fake check/money order to cover your shipping expenses which you have paid for out of pocket. Visit USPIS.com (Postal Inspection Service) for more information on these scams.
