One of the issues that proponents of electric vehicles (EVs) worry about—whether actual or potential purchasers—is the possibility of running low and then out of sufficient battery charge. That is the equivalent of running out of gas with an internal combustion engine (ICE)-based vehicle, or both gas and electrons for a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).

There is no comparably convenient solution to the “out of fuel” problem for EVs, at least not until recently. What’s missing, in colloquial terms, is the equivalent portable “can of electrons.” Given the concerns and realities of low EV-battery reserve energy while on the road, I was intrigued when I saw this partial-recharge system from SparkCharge.
