Is America really ready for plug-ins?

Technically, plug-in hybrid vehicles might be just around the corner, but plug-in adoption is another matter entirely.Is it as simple as just building the cars?

“Plug-in vehicles are a revolution for the consumer and will transform the way we move from place to place, and the way we think about using energy. But each community is unique—they have different commuting patterns, parking concerns, demographics, local businesses, and cultures.”

Thus, the Rocky Mountain Institute has launched Project Get Ready to help communities prepare for the challenges and opportunities that plug-in hybrid vehicles will bring communities.

Do you think such a venture is just a green money grab now that Obama is in the White House, or are the conditions for plug-in adoption far more complicated than just building the vehicles?
