The fantastic folks of ECOtality and Frog Design have partnered to show us how we’ll charge our sleek electric vehicles in the future. Their design is called Blink and it looks almost as good as the cars it’ll power.
The charging stations appear to focus on making the best of a limited space – such as corners near shopping centres or spots in tiny garages – yet still providing a proper charge and plenty of information regarding your usage habits. Can’t wait until they start popping up in places where only ugly petrol pumps used to sit. [FrogDesign via Engadget]

The queues will be interesting !!
