Spring for a membership in an Airline Club. If you travel internationally, US carriers have reciprocal agreements with lots of other airlines. The more you fly, the less it costs. As a business development executive, my company used to pick up the tab.

MSP has a few areas in the concourses with desk cubical modules and power plugs. They tend to be on the concourse end near terminal. Concourses D & F come to mind. |

Find a Southwest gate. They have entire rows of counterspace with outlets (AC and USB power) for passengers, but I doubt you would be hassled even if you don’t have an SWA boarding pass. |

This is the reality blocking electric cars - the fundamental limits of battery technology.
A chemical battery contains atoms that can contribute and accept electrons. We want compact and light batteries for the electricity they can deliver and we want to recharge them over and over again and in a short time.
The problem for future development is that we’re using just about the best reactants we can use. Lithium contains the most charge per atomic weight - it doesn’t get much better except for hydrogen and hydrogen wants to bond with itself in a manner that doesn’t release electrons (H2).
We can package a lithium battery with less overhead but that’s just a design detailing job and won’t yield a fundamental improvement. They will get better but don’t look for Moore’s Law to apply.
Funny, the new GM Volt gets 40 miles on a charge. Edison’s attempt at an electric car got 50 miles per charge, albeit at a lower average speed and without the government mandated safety features - and no radio. |

Find a Southwest gate.
No such animal at MSP. NWA has successfully prevented SW from entering the Minneapolis market. |

Why not just buy a spare battery? Don’t travel where I am away from an outlet enough to warrant one, mostly. Not worth the cost. And, with rare exceptions, I can usually find an outlet somewhere. Part of the adventure is tracking one down.
