To: where's_the_Outrage?

I bought property in Maine this year and will be staying permanently. This wasn’t the worst storm they ever had, but it was pretty significant.

The closest big town of any consequence to me is Waterville and they have a big charging station area in the parking lot of the local grocery store [Hannaford’s]. Maybe 30 kiosks. When the power outage hit the State, Waterville was completely dark starting on Tuesday. Nobody could charge their vehicles. Same for Wednesday, Waterville was still out of power.

Today, power was back and every charging kiosk was used. And, there were at least 75 cars waiting for their chance to charge up.

“”Today, power was back and every charging kiosk was used. And, there were at least 75 cars waiting for their chance to charge up.””

I hope they remember all this when 75 cars was “the good old days.”
