What are you supposed to do when you aren't in the 99% of the country that doesn't have a charging station? Why do you automatically try to discredit it? Also, it's public transportation. It doesn't matter if other places don't have charging stations http://i.imgur.com/8pzUM.gif http://i.imgur.com/Oh1iujg.gif The only bad part about flying is having to come back down to the f***in' world ~Rat reportquote

ChromaticAngel (Topic Creator)2 hours ago#9 Zodd3224 posted... Good bye big oil! There is a gas station around these parts called QuikTrip or as they've rebranded themselves lately to "QT" but they have been making hard efforts to retool every single station they have to be able to make enough money without selling gas that they can continue to operate once petrol-powered vehicles are no longer driven by the public at large. The first step was to retool the inside of the store to have a crappy little fresh food type thing (like hot pizza or hot sandwiches, etc), they're adding drive thru's, electric charging stations, etc. https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png reportquote

Yes, but they make that money because people have to stop there for gas and buy other s*** while there.  The idea is to get people to stop there even when they don't need gas. https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png reportquote

Yeah but generally the only reason people buy things there are because they're having to stop for gas. Once you don't need gas anymore you're gonna have a hard time getting people to come in and buy an overpriced slurpee.

Good point, but to get to the original post that started this, QT has always been a connivance store/gas station. Guns; freedom you can hold in your hand. Sampson, Terrordactyl reportquote
