Key Quotes:
💡“Right now I tell everybody to look out at least five to ten years, but to start you don't need to go crazy. Just get started with one or two chargers then you can look at how it works and how it grows before you dig in and spend a ton of money with all new infrastructure.“ - Tony Booth
“Stay N Charge is set out from the beginning to be kind of a white glove, one call solution for EV charging for any community, hospitality, places like that, where they have other things to do besides worry about EV charging. So we handle it from the considerations, the assessments through design installation. Then we'll maintain them and do all the operations, including driver support on behalf of our host property. “ - Tony Booth
