Re: [FLEAA] Charging at Cracker Barrel

[FLEAA]

Greetings FLEAA,     They just opened a new Cracker Barrel in Florida City...just before the 20 mile stretch to the Florida Keys.   For anyone that is looking to take their EV to the Keys...Cracker Barrel would be ideal.   Let hope they see the light...and install charging stations at their restaurant.   It would be great PR for them. Shawn Waggoner (FLEAA) wrote: 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.   Shawn   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Fran Sullivan-Fahs Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 3:49 PM To: FLEAA Mailing List Subject: Re: [FLEAA] Blind advocates lobby for noisier hybrid cars   What about Cracker Barrel for plugins? 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.   Jim Millener [EMAIL PROTECTED]   JCM II, Inc. 6574 N State Road 7 PMB 102 Coconut Creek, FL 33073 Ph: 954-345-2253 Cell: 954-803-3375 IM: Jim Millener   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Shawn Waggoner (FLEAA) Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 2:14 PM To: 'FLEAA Mailing List' Subject: [FLEAA] Blind advocates lobby for noisier hybrid cars   Hi Everyone,   I have heard this argument brought up a few times over the last year, and have been hearing it made more and more over the last couple of months. 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 listserv@floridaeaa.org http://www.floridaeaa.org _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list listserv@floridaeaa.org http://www.floridaeaa.org No virus found in this incoming message.
