So the Secretary of Energy planned a four day trip in an EV car to illustrate all the great things the administration is doing in that area. Naturally, a motorcade of gasoline powered cars accompanied her. One of them was sent ahead to a gas station (will we still call them that after ICE cars get phased out?) to block a charging station to reserve it for the Secretary’s use. This incensed a family trying to charge their EV, who called the police. Turns out, it’s not illegal in the State of Georgia to block an EV charger unless it’s posted.
My takeaways?
You need to burn a lot of gas to demo an EV trip.
It helps to have an advance team to clear the peasants out of the way.
The signage industry has an opportunity here.
The administration needs to think through it’s PR stunts a little more thoroughly.
