Well, it seems like our Public Charging Director is going to need to call the Cracker Barrel Corporate Offices to see about making some arrangements! It is a great idea and seems to be the perfect venue.
We can discuss this idea at the Board Meeting this weekend.

I could just see people having an old fashioned meal and maybe a little rocking in their rocking chairs while their EV sips a little electric nrg for the next leg of the trip. It fits with the "Slow Food Movement". Ahhhh...Time to savor life!

It seems like they would be ideal for longer trips since they are typically located along the freeways, and can provide someplace to wait while the EV charges.

It seems the 'advocates' are making great headway with the media and getting great attention. While I agree that some hybrids and EV's are hard to hear, I think mandating that cars produce noise is not the right answer. What do you guys think? I personally enjoy the silence of driving an EV around. The driver should be responsible enough to observe his/her surroundings while driving. http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9874568-7.html?tag=nefd.pulse Shawn _____ _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org
