It would be nice to just pull up, prepay and plug-in but but the paranoid side leads me to believe they want you to sign up for an account specifically because they need to make you pay for the energy you use, plus they want your aggregate account information for marketing value.
I still believe in carrying my fuel supply with me. I owned two Prius' and it's a proven design. I the city, where the speed limit is a maximum of 35MPH, it can get 55 to 60 MPG. That's economical enough for me!
Power from the grid isn't so cheap either!
