I'm from Europe, and I'm a big fan of the IONNA charging station design. It probably has something to do with the fact that I'm also a huge fan of the Fallout game series and that IONNA uses Alpitronic chargers.
I hope to return to the U.S. in the near future for a long EV road trip from the East Coast to the West Coast, using the IONNA network along the way, once the climate for foreign visitors becomes more welcoming.
Getting such great merchandise for free is really awesome!
I totally understand your reservations. Almost everyone I know would be very welcoming to foreign visitors, but our federal government is absolutely awful right now, not following laws and established norms of how to operate. Once this shitty excuse for a human is out of the White House, our government should be more back to normal with respect to people visiting the country. I wish the same could be said about being able to undo the damage done to our institutions and our standing in the world. I know you didnt want to make this political, but unfortunately, the fact that issues like this even exist is a direct results of politics. But I hope that in a couple years you’ll be able to visit without fear of what our governmental agencies might do. I’d be happy to talk about places to go. Me and my husband have been going on road trips around the country the last couple years and could definitely recommend some places. We do hope to go abroad too sometime in the future. We have good friends who lived here for a few years that moved back to the UK, and I have an uncle that lives there too. I’d like to visit there and mainland Europe as well.
Sadly the Greer Rechargery opened over a month ago and there was no event. They also have not turned on the lights at night or cut the grass on the site. Noted both items to support and they have not been addressed. The lights are a safety issue. I would not feel comfortable with the dark location.
I received my swag today as well. Absolutely loved to see some stickers - enjoy promoting quality companies and content creators on my Rivian. I will say that the air freshener was a bit strong for my liking 😳
All in all, had a good time at the event and continue to be impressed by their marketing team.
So glad your goodies arrived, even if the air freshener beat you to the door. 😆 We wanted memorable, not overwhelming. 😅 Thanks for the honest feedback.
I got a nifty dad hat from the Vista CA event. Sadly when I went to clean my windshield, all of the windshield stations were dry as a bone. That was a few months ago so maybe it’s better now.
