Why do you think he is liberal?
Just wondering.
“Well at least this liberal is putting his livelihood where his mouth is.”
not really. he had a failing gas station that got $800,000 of free taxpayer money to make the conversion.

so that means they can service wut... 12 cars an hour???
Let’s see....it takes about 5 hours to charge a prius prime on 110/120 volts; 2 1/2 hours on 240. That’s a lot of people hanging around.....just waiting. Will he be adding a restaurant, a movie theater to keep them occupied? I don’t see a bright future for this venture.

The gas station conversion was jointly funded by the Electric Vehicle Institute and the Maryland Energy Administration, which provided a grant of $786,000.
