I spoke with several people that were in the market for an EV or soon to be in the market and I feel that I was able to help them with several questions that they had.  There is a lot of misinformation out there as well as a lot of new information that people have to learn.  Being able to have those one on one conversation about EV's is giving these consumers complementary information to what they are finding on their one.  For example I had a conversation with a person that recently purchased a Toyota RAV4 Prime PHEV. They had heard about off peak electric billing and were thinking of switching to it.  I asked them to make sure they first tracked how they were charging their RAV4 and how many kWh they were putting into their car.  It might not make sense to switch to this plan if their usage is greatest during normal daytime hours.  They had not even thought about that. 

These conversations and sharing my experiences with people were my favorite part of the day.  I wish I could have spent more time with folks discussing these things.
