it does... there is a home unit that you purchase, wire it to your natural gas from your home, and wire the electrical..

and bam.. you refuel over night..

It will save you more money than a hybid at the pump, as long as you can tolerate the difficulty finding a fueling station. I know they get a couple hundred miles range, so maybe refueling every night and using as a commuter car works for you. even as a natural gas user you have incentive to support nuclear power and renuable electricity...natural gas has actually been far less expensive than it is today. A little more than 20% of the electricity in the US is produced by burning natural gas - the quantity of gas consumed in power plants has increased by 30% since 2000. Lower the percentage of electric produced by natural gas and that's good for the price of natural gas. I'm worried what happens to the cost of heating my home if natural gas starts to catch on as a fuel for cars. What the price demand elasticity is for natural gas, idk. I know it can be made by other ways than drilling but that's obviously the cheepest way at this time. I'm very skeptical about a large number of cars converting to natural gas like T.Boone Pickins would like for his piggy bank.
