Gas Station -> EV Station

Here's the first instance I know of where a petrol station has converted to electric fueling. Great idea!

Roadtrip, anyone?

Here's the listing for the June 27, 2020 car show in Grand Junction, CO. There is an "Electric Avenue" for EVs specifically. I think most of our long-range EVs can go, would anyone like to make this a trip this year? We'd get to meetup with the Western Colorado EV club. Online registration begins April 13, 2020.

Downtown Grand Junction, CO Car Show - June 27, 2020. This show can be a meetup event with the CSEVC and the Western Colorado Ev Club based out of Grand Junction, CO. This show has an "Electric Avenue" just for EVs, so we know we'll get some foot traffic if we go. Also as a bonus, the Gateway Car Museum is nearby, as is Moab, UT if you want to go further than Colorado for a trip. The website for the event is https://downtowngj.org/signature-events/downtown-car-show/ .
