As long as they put one in Green River, Utah!

Are you listening Porsche? G R E E N R I V E R U T A H
Tesla has a charging station there, it's out in the middle of the desert on two major routes (E-W and N-S), it's the perfect spot!
Plus, I promise to use it regularly!!

I'm glad Porsche is claiming to do this - it's a step in the right direction - but more important than "sites" is "stalls @ site" - Tesla's sites have from 4 to 40 stalls - and they monitor congestion to grow sites based on demand - I'm hoping Porsche doesn't consider this a one & done type of deal - and they actually need to keep the sites useful which means growing sites that experience high demand and leaving sites alone that are only used occasionally…

I'm also very very dubious that they will be able to deliver on their 350 kW 800 volt for high demand sites…

I need dealerships to offer free coffee, donuts etc when charging cars over there. The dealers will get additional foot traffic and will probably upsell more items lol.

I think each Porsche dealer is required to take at least one.
