Cracker Barrel to install ECOtality’s Blink EV chargers at select Dec 01, 2010 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) —
ECOtality, Inc., which is engaged in clean electric transportation and storage technologies, has announced that Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. has joined The EV Project, and will install ECOtality’s Blink electric vehicle, or EV, charging stations at restaurant and store locations. Cracker Barrel will install EV chargers at 24 locations within The EV Project’s pilot markets.
As part of the agreement, Cracker Barrel will install ECOtality’s Blink EV charging stations, including both Level 2 and DC Fast Charge commercial electric vehicle charging stations, at 24 restaurant and store locations within EV Project markets beginning April 2011.
Blink charging stations will be installed at 12 identified locations that support ECOtality’s previously announced EV blueprints in Tennessee and will connect the transportation corridors linking Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga.
The 12 Cracker Barrel store locations in Tennessee include: Athens, Cleveland, Cookeville, Crossville, East Ridge, Farragut, Harriman, Kimball, Lebanon, Manchester, Murfreesboro, and Nashville. The remaining 12 unidentified Cracker Barrel locations will be installed within other Tennessee locations that are within the boundaries of The EV Project.
“We are pleased to announce Cracker Barrel as a commercial collaborator for ECOtality and The EV Project,” said Jonathan Read, CEO of ECOtality, Inc. “ECOtality’s goal for the Blink Network is to allow consumers to charge in locations that are attractive, convenient, and beneficial, making electric vehicles fit their lifestyle.”
That charge you get while eating your meal is not going to take you down the road very far. How are they going to keep people that are not eating at the restaurant from using it? The first time somebody gets electrocuted or a car catches on fire, they’ll be gone.
Each “coal powered car” hooked up to their charging stations will be the equivalent of running an electric clothes dryer. If they have all of their 24 charging stations being used, think of the cost they would run on their electric bill.

The Progressives are ostriches with their heads in the ground. “Clean” transportation is as clean as the power plant that generated the electricity for it.
