I wouldn`t have, otherwise, but this is an opportunity that I couldn`t
pass up; it`s a perfect match for my experience and a great group of
people. I`m only doing it one day a week, thankfully.

No, Electrify America, Blink and EVGo. The best luck seems to be EVGo
chargers at Whole Foods Grocery stores; the state of chargers
definitely seems to follow the overall affluence of the neighborhood.

The 4 were gone as soon as the 12 came in. So far the new chargers are
working great.
We`ll see how my EV with little skinny tires holds up in winter storms
- I may end up relenting and getting a Lexus or a Subaru Outback.
