    Yes, that is exactly my point, a convenient stores for convenience and the only people I want using my charger are people that just need a few miles of added range to get to where they’re going, I would not want people to come and fill up, is that blocks spots in my parking lot For real paying customers

    I would certainly want to have chargers though, because I like EV’s, and want to be there to help if drivers are running a bit short. It’s the same way I run my construction business, we are expensive, but always willing to take a project no matter the difficulty. If there are not good paying projects, I would rather park my equipment at my shop, and give my guys time off with pay then lower the prices and try to be a ***** of the market. This is the opposite of the strategy of Tesla, where they have had to lower their prices over and over again the last year, because their business does not have enough solidity, and cash flow sources to take a more hard-line stance. They basically have to move at the market, and the market for cars now is going down especially for electric cars. Trucks and SUVs are doing well, especially diesels from reading GM’s latest sales report , Diesel trucks which are their most expensive vehicles with the highest profit margin‘s were up 38% in the latest quarter. While their lowest margin vehicles which our Cruze and sonic were down dramatically. That my friends is a healthy business! If you’re going to have sales increasing, you wanted to be on the products you make money on not the products that are lost leaders. This is teslas big problem with the model three. The short range plus he’s taking a lot of the sales and ever increasing percentages, but it is a lost leader and they do not make a profit on it. All of the model three profit comes from the long range, and performance
