In the town near me all of the 'dealers' are all owned by Lawley: Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, etc. Up until recently Lawley refused to support EVs, they wouldn't sell them, etc. I see they now have two 2021 Kia Nero EVs and 1 Niro plug in hybrid on their lot, but no other EVs or plug in Hybrids. They do service the parts that are common with ICEs: brakes, onboard computers, etc. but from what I understand they don't do anything with the high voltage components. _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
