build a modular electric charge pump that fits on the back of a flat bed and can be easily hooked up by an electrician to a gas stations electric supply within 6 hours time. charge pump looks and feels like an electric gas pump. it is as self intuititve to use (for the consumer) and manage (for the gas station owner), as a gas pump.

anyplace makes money by servicing the pumps and by maintaining a smart grid network that collects the info-stats on the pumps and constantly provides feedback to owners of the stations, consumer users of the pumps, electric utilities, etc.....

MOST FUNDAMENTALLY, the modular pump must contain a super charging technology that is robust and flexible , allowing cars with both existing and future technology to draw down as much current as quickly or slowly as they need. instead of options for unleaded or leaded, you get options for 200 volts 400 volts or 1000 volts.

idealy, when most customers can use 1000 volts and charge up in about 5 minutes or less, anyplace starts taking off and becoming, everyplace.

       So a portable charge station, with outlets for all the cars chargeable in 5 minutes (none)?

       Think of all those Amps man! It's going to get mighty hot. (and do you really want to be in a car crash with 1000V in the back?)
