Hi Everybody,
My wife and I received our Nissan Leaf at the end of September and love it! We are getting our Blink installed next Friday by the EV Project...can't wait!
I've been researching where I can charge up and thinking about where my wife and I travel. One of the main places I think everyone goes is Costco...and a trip can take up to two hours (on a Saturday and if your wife is really in the mood for shopping).
I sent a request into their website asking if they have any plans for EV charging stations. Here was their response:
"We appreciate you taking the time to email Costco Wholesale.
We do not presently have plans to install EV charging stations.
This decision was primarily made because of the non use of the Electric Charging Stations a few years back. Coupled with the fact that sales of the electric car are currently minimal compared to the sales of the traditional gas cars. Once this trend shifts, we will reconsider this decision.
Your feedback has been forwarded to the Executives for their review. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us.
Please let us know if there is anything else we may assist you with.
Thank you,
Toby
Costco Wholesale Corporation"
:idea: If you agree that Costco is the right place to have EVSEs, please canvas their Contact Us page with requests and show them that there are more of us out here than just a handful. Maybe we can even sponsor an event at their Issaquah Costco to show their corporate heads the importance of changing over to electricity.
Thanks...
