I like the idea, I'm just

I like the idea, I'm just wondering how the charging works..
I do not have a garage of my own (I currently park my scooter outside on the streets of Barcelona). I've heard some gas stations will provide plugs but, doesn't it take a long time to charge?
Is there an alternative way to charging those electric scooters?

There are some retail stores

There are some retail stores like Fry's Electronics here in San Jose California that had special parking spots with charging stations a few years ago, but I don't think that idea really took off. They should try to make gas-electric hybrid scooters as an interim step to lower the CO2 footprint.

I would like to see electric

I would like to see electric scooters with removable batteries! so you can take it home, charge it and then put it back in place hehe
But I guess gas-electric hybrid scooters would be a good step forward, since more people would consider buying them. I would.
