I can see that happening in somewhere like San Jose. There was actually a public charging infrastructure being formed there and I think PG&E was somewhat supportive of the idea, like Southern California Edison was where I’m from. And I’m sure everyone was tired of getting no better than 15 or so around town in their Read more

Yes, that’s it next to the left arrow.

Don't think I've ever seen a wagon rental in the US. Most memorable was a guy returning a Saab 9-5 V6 to Enterprise saying it was tthe best car he'd ever had. This was 2001 Read more

This still looks good today. Too bad they're all in terrible shape. Read more

I would love to meet a Sterling fanboy. You know where to find me! Read more
