That's it!! The government needs to make a new law to force us to buy electric cars... problem solved! After all, they are already giving away taxpayer subsidies so that's a logical next step (Obamalogic).

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

DIA has Tesla plug-in parking available near the main terminal.
Lets subsidize those people who can afford 70K cars. :idea:

Read it. No one is subsidizing Teslas. In fact:

The airport put out a request for charging station bids and Waukegan, Illinois-based Telefonix made DIA an offer it didn’t refuse — 10 charging stations for free.


Free is the right price. And who pays the electric costs?

While the charging is free, the rate in those garages is $3 an hour and $23 a day.


$23 a day is high even at the plush places downtown.

BTW, all the electric cars, plug ins and conversions that I have seen or researched have adaptors that take a standard plug, including the Tesla.

WhiteGP, ever heard there is no such thing as a free lunch? I wonder how expensive those "free" charging stations will be for Denver taxpayers.
