>slow charge whenever the car is parked

How does that work for people who live in cities? I like electric cars - less moving parts, less noise, less cost maintaining and driving - but they are utterly useless to me because there is no way I can charge one. Hybrids are ok, though, I can charge in the rare case I'm actually parked near a charger.

With curbside charging, and wireless charging will be convenient once that's rolled out. No cables, just park over the charging plate.

It's not like wireless phone charging. It's very efficient:
