That is speculation, right ? I'd not call sending a poster to a few thousand people "tons of money".Lopton said:... and are wasting tons of money that needs to be going towards public charging stations!

Depends, lets say $10 per person to send, few thousand people x $10 = ~$20,000... hmm seems like tons of money, or at least 4-5 public charging stations that they promised but have not delivered at all on...

And just how are they supposed to get location owners to sign up if they don't promote before installation? It has become obvious that development of the actual EVSEs and QCs fell behind schedule, but turning off the marketing would just ensure a complete collapse of the effort.Jimmydreams said:I will tell Blink to quit promoting something that doesn't exist. They should save that promo-money for AFTER they have 50% or more of their promised EVSE installs completed.
Promoting something that doesn't exist no matter HOW you do it is wrong and plain stupid. :evil: And no matter how you look at it, Blink doesn't have the EVSE's installed in San Diego that they said they would.....and when you ask for specifics, they give you silence or vague answers.

And just WHO are going to be the people who ask their employers and the places they shop to install EVSEs? The people who DON'T own EVs? They want you to request and use the RFIDs at all the sites they finally DO install these at. They aren't JUST administering a federal study, they are also building a long-term business around EV charging.Jimmydreams said:Because they're promoting to people who have already signed up or already have a Blink unit installed. If they want to promote to the uneducated, "whats-an-EV?" crowd, great! But do you expect Nissan to fall all over themselves promoting the Leaf to you specifically in the form of mailers, etc., weeks and months after you've already bought the car? General advertising = good. Targeted promotion to existing customers (when they've fallen woefully behind on their other 'duties') = waste of taxpayer money. :evil:
