Within 5 miles of my house there are 5 Racetrac, 2 QT and probably 2 dozen independent gas stations. They get commuter traffic but not long-distance travel traffic. None of them have a business case to add EV plugs since 95% of their traffic is someone just leaving or going to their home.

At least in the South, it seems the logical candidates to start installing them would be truck stops and Waffle Houses at off-ramps.
That would be a good marketing strategy.

Like back in the day.

- "our rooms have TV"

- "our rooms are air conditioned"

- "we have wi-fi"

- "rooms rented by the hour"

Fortunately, it's not me that has the issue. Unfortunately, it's about 1,000 other employees......

At this point though, I'm good to go. I issued a "handle this" order to the Security team, so my part is done.
