Hello everyone,
I have been working with a business owner in Altavista, VA (about halfway between Lynchburg and Danville on Route 29) to establish a destination charging spot in the area and he is about to have 3 Tesla chargers and a universal charger installed at his business. The business is a converted convenience store that has 12+ taps of good craft beer and a delicious deli menu for lunch / dinner. The business owner is also the town mayor and has installed a solar array on storage buildings that currently provides more than 80% of the electricity that the store uses.
I wanted to let everyone know as we are trying to put together a little media event and the more owner participation, the better! He has the 3 Tesla chargers in boxes and is waiting for the universal charger to arrive before scheduling the electrical contractor to come out to do the install. I anticipate that the installation will be complete in the next few weeks and the media event will be scheduled soon afterwards.
What I would like to do is have the event around lunchtime on a Saturday, speak to the press a bit, grab a bite and if anyone wants to hang out, go back to Lynchburg for dinner. The Craddock Terry Hotel in downtown Lynchburg is a nice boutique hotel within easy walking distance of some of the best restaurants in town. I live in Lynchburg and would love to show anyone staying there around the downtown area.
As I find out more information about the timing, I will keep everyone up to date.
Thanks!
Steve
