As more drivers make the switch to an electric vehicle, the issue of charging is going to be on everyone's minds. While drivers will certainly buy a charger for their home, on-the-go charging stations are expected to be scarce.

Ecotality Inc., an organization based in Arizona, has stated that it will be attempting to introduce more chargers in commercial locations across the country. One of the first partners to jump onboard with a pilot program is Cracker Barrel, a restaurant modeled after old-fashioned homestyle eateries.

Cracker Barrel will install 24 chargers at locations across Tennessee in an effort to give drivers more options. The company said that 40 percent of its customers are travelers, so the chargers might give them an extra reason to stop in for a bite to eat.

The high-powered stations installed at the restaurants are expected to provide a full charge in 30 minutes.

Drivers who are interested in electric vehicles may wish to hold off on their purchase until they hit the used car market so they can take advantage of discounts. Both the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt, the first two electric models to be widely released in the U.S., are expected to retail for over $30,000.
