-A '''charging station''', also called '''electric recharging point''', '''charging point'' and  ''juice point'''' is a point that supplies [[electricity]] for the recharging  of [[electric vehicles]] (including [[plug-in hybrid]]s) and filling of [[compressed air vehicle]]s .
-Charging fees are be determined by local governments with some expected to offer the service for free.
-== Exchange Station and Removable Batteries==
-Charging station is different from an [[exchange station]], a place to [[swap]] a discharged battery or battery pack by a charged one and where you do not have to get out of the car, because the battery will be automatically taken out and replaced <ref>http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/4695844a6502.html</ref>.
-On the other hand, [[MIRA Ltd|MIRA]] has announced a retrofit hybrid conversion kit that provides removable battery packs that plug into a wall outlet for charging <ref>[http://www.hybridcarchat.com/blog/hybrid-technology/mira-introduces-plugless-plug-in-hybrid-conversion.htm MIRA Introduces Plugless Plug-in Hybrid Conversion : Hybrid Car Chat Blog]</ref>
-== Places ==
-Charging stations can be mainly found on the roads, streets, [[parking lot]]s and [[taxi stand]]s.
-== Infrastructure ==
-[[Electric vehicle]]s do not need a new infrastructure: polls have shown that many more than half of homeowners in the [[USA]] have access to a plug to charge their cars.Since the grid is ubiquitous, creating a charging infrastructure for [[EV]]s and for [[PHEV]]s for those who do not have such access, or who want to charge at work, is a much smaller challenge than to deliver a new alternative fuel type. It requires broadly accepted standards and companies that can use today's hardware and software technologies to begin <ref>http://www.calcars.org/calcars-news/976.html</ref>.
-== Deployment==
-[[Project Better Place]] was started by [[Shai Agassi]] on October 29th, 2007, focused on building massive scale Electric Recharge Grids as infrastrucutre supporting the deployment of electric vehicles (including plug-in hybrids) in countries around the world.
-In France, [[Électricité de France]] (EDF) and Toyota are installing recharging points for PHEVs on roads, streets and [[parking lot]]s.<ref>Électricité de France ([[5 September]] [[2007]]) [http://www.edf.fr/105819i/Accueil-com/presse/communiques-et-dossiers-de-presse/Noeud-Communiques-et-Dossier-de-presse/EDF-et-Toyota-annoncent-un-partenariat-technologique-en-Europe-relatif-aux-vehicules-hybrides-rechargeables.html ''"EDF et Toyota annoncent un partenariat technologique en Europe relatif aux véhicules hybrides rechargeables"''] press release retrieved [[10 October]] [[2007]]</ref>. EDF is  also partnering with Elektromotive, Ltd.<ref>Elektromotive, Ltd. (2007) [http://www.elektromotive.co.uk "Elektromotive: The ultimate zero-emission transport system"] company web site retrieved [[26 October]] [[2007]]</ref> to install 250 new charging points over six months from October 2007 in London and elsewhere in the UK.<ref>Reynolds, L. ([[October 11]], [[2007]]) [http://www.batteryvehiclesociety.org.uk/wordpress/?p=260 "UK to install 250 new public charging stations by next spring".] ''The Battery Vehicle Society'' retrieved [[26 October]] [[2007]]</ref> Recharging points also can be installed for specific uses, as in [[taxi stand]]s.
-[[Portland General Electric]] is installing 12 [[electric vehicle]] charging stations in [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]] and [[Salem, Oregon]] as part of a demonstration project to develop the transportation infrastructure needed to support electric vehicles and anticipate the demand [[plug-in car]]s <ref>[http://blogs.edmunds.com/greencaradvisor/2008/07/oregon-utility-readying-for-waves-of-evs-installs-charging-stations-in-two-cities.html "Oregon Utility, Readying for Waves of EVs, Installs Charging Stations in Two Cities" Green Car Advisor<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> .
-[[Coulomb Technologies]]´ ChargePoint Network includes public charging stations, a consumer subscription plan and utility grid management technology for [[electric utility]] companies to smooth electrical demands on the grid <ref>http://www.coulombtech.com/press_releases/release_20080721.php</ref> <ref>http://www.calcars.org/calcars-news/976.html</ref>.
-Carmaker [[Daimler AG]] and utility [[RWE AG]] are going to beging a joint electric car and [[charging station]] test project in the German capital, [[Berlin]], called "E-Mobility Berlin." <ref>http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/apwire/3e8bc7ee811bd771be83c3bf1960bbbc.htm</ref>.
-A fleet of electric cars and charge points will be rolled out across [[Coventry]] as part of a multi-million pound pilot project <ref>http://www6.lexisnexis.com/publisher/EndUser?Action=UserDisplayFullDocument&orgId=101846&topicId=104970025&docId=l:854380157</ref>.
