What drivers have written

“If you’re stuck in the middle nowhere heading to Chicago or St Louis and you need a charge this is the place! Free level 2 charging just to assist you when you need to get to a bigger charging station. Make sure you pay the city back by visiting the shops and stores!” — Ed Reggi, 2 months ago

“This is especially for EV Owners who may have made a mistake in calculation’s. Low on juice, Panic of course, because let’s face it, who knows if the station your driving to will work, or is it a potential free one or you need your CC, and then hope that works! But when I drove up and saw it, the best way to describe it was as if you’ve been walking in a desert for days with no water and then you come upon the image of palm trees, water etc. you tell me, 4 am and 3 miles left. A beautiful site! Thank you to everyone involved in installing/getting these chargers! PS It was at 10 KW charging, not bad for FREE. /CLEAN” — Jim Hendry, a year ago

“Great location right across from the Pontiac Route 66 Museum, it’s the perfect place to spend some time while you wait for a charge. However, if you’re charging after hours and riding a motorcycle, keep in mind that there isn't much in the way of shelter nearby. It’s a convenient stop during the day, but you’ll want to check the weather if you’re stopping by late at night.” — Sean Neuert, 5 months ago
