To my surprise, I received a response rather quickly late at night. The reply is below, as is my initial suggestion. I have NO IDEA if they'll actually consider adding vehicle charging to their stores, but I was pleased that someone actually read my email!
Love's response:
Hello Wilson, thank you so
much for your suggestion to add car charging stations to our stores. That
sounds like a great idea and we’ll make certain it is passed along accordingly.
We want to know what’s important to you and appreciate the time you’ve taken to
reach out to us!
Have a wonderful day!
Best regards,

My original suggestion:
As a new electric car owner, I think Love's
retail locations would be even better if they had electric car charging
stations. You would attract a growing market of non-gasoline purchasers to your
locations. Please note that electric car owners make excellent customers! They
would remain at your locations longer than a gasoline customer, which means
more sales. The charger hardware is relatively inexpensive, the electricity to
charge a car is almost free. Feel free to contact me for information about EV
(electric vehicle) owners. -Wilson Hitchings
Great idea! I have reached out to local businesses such as shops at briargate and university village. Both seemed receptive to the idea. The more EV owners they hear from the better though!
