11.21.16 - Tesla Charging Station

The Tesla Supercharging stations are all over the map with over 700 locations in the US and Canada, but now there will be even more and these will be made for all EV models to be able to use. The US Government has already passed legislation that will allow charging stations to be built in many of the states across the country, which will make it much easier for us to buy EV models and know that we can travel outside of our hometowns to enjoy the ride and be able to charge up when we get wherever we’re headed.

A Celebration of Collaboration

When a combination of events take place to create something that is able to stand the test of time you should celebrate. In our lives we often think of each passing decade as a celebration of growth and hopefully maturity.
