I heard on AM radio news this morning that Costco, the membership club chain, is pulling its chargers for electric cars out of the ground in all its stores across the fruited plain because not enough customers are using them.
A Costco General Manager says just a handful of people are actually using the devices....so they are not cost-efficient enough for the chain's stores to maintain and retain the service.
In one particular store in Kal-ee-for-nia (the Mother Lode of Eco-Freaks) the devices were not used AT ALL during a ONE-YEAR PERIOD!.
Hah!

Thanks, I read that yesterday, I believe. They’re going to pull them all out because of lack of use.
Putting those in has to cost big bucks and Costco doesn’t mess with stuff like that normally, I was surprised they put them in in the first place.
