One of the biggest questions concerning plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles is “Where will we charge them?”. A personal charger is one solution, but it limits range and requires the driver to have a garage or a driveway.

A California company called Coulomb Technologies says Smartlets is the future solution for this problem. According to Automotive News, Coulomb CEO Richard Lowenthal thinks that Smarlets could be placed in areas where people usually park their cars, making it more convenient to charge them while they go about their business.

Details about the technology are not yet known, but they will probably be announced at the Plug-In Car Show in San Jose, California, in July.
