AAA to launch fast-charging trucks for stranded electric vehicles, Edmunds says

To combat range anxiety among electric vehicle drivers, AAA plans to launch trucks equipped with fast charger units to rescue battery-powered cars in need of rejuicing.

The motorist group, which provides emergency services to drivers around the country, will unveil the first system at a North Carolina conference in July, according to the AutoObserver blog at Edmunds.com.

Later this summer, the fleet of trucks will start rolling out in selected cities.
