Well, that didn't show up when I searched the Internet.  But, I guess
if you actually owned one you might know where they are.

Not one business I am ever likely to frequent.  They all look like
tourist traps intended to serve out of towners rather than locals.

I don't expect it to be free, but then I am not the one trying to
say how much better it is.  For all I know it cost three times as
much as an equivalent tank of gas.  And being as it all started
on a discussion about environmental effects, just how do people
with electric cars think the electricity is being generated?
