A thread was started over on the TM forums regarding charging at the NPS. The infrastructure at our parks is inadequate, at best. I have taken the time to follow up with the NPS directly about this and their response was that there are absolutely no funds to go around to support an endeavor like this.
My thought is that the funding outlay from the NPS would be minimal, if at all, assuming we could get one of the networks to foot the bill. My guess is that ChargePoint or Aerovironment would jump at the opportunity to get a head start monopoly into the NPS. Any thoughts on this? Recommendations for other/better networks?
I could contact Tesla as well if anyone thought it would matter. I can't imagine them wanting to invest in free supercharging at the NPS anyway - at least not at this point. Maybe eventually it would make for a nice marketing bullet point, and even campaign. MS/MX/MEs visiting the NPS using only superchargers.
I promised the representative that I'd follow up with more data - any help I can get here is appreciated.
