Might try asking your sweetheart of a Governor why. Just saying.We could use them down here in the Big Easy. There are NO (0), zip, zilch, nada dcfc down here. None worth using any way, they're either broken or charge an outrageous price. Also none of the Tesla chargers are accepting non Tesla vehicles.
Makes no sense why a major tourist attraction city like we are to not have them for people coming in from out of state. I get by with my home FCSP and can drive 37 miles to the nearest Tesla supercharger that's "supposedly" compatible and there are no less than 5 Walmarts within 15 miles of my home. Make that make sense.
I doubt the Governor has anything to do with it, most likely that criminal mayor we have. She's going down though facing 18 federal charges. No I didn't vote for that wombat.Might try asking your sweetheart if a Governor why. Just saying.
Well it sounds like you at least have some, hah. It will be very nice once they start putting them in areas like North Dakota or Northern MN/WI/MI areas. Those areas are basically deserts, or you have to drive 50 miles in the wrong direction.We could use them down here in the Big Easy. There are NO (0), zip, zilch, nada dcfc down here.

I have heard that Costco has started installing some, but I have not researched or verified this information!!Well it sounds like you at least have some, hah.

I still wonder why Costco doesn't do this. Would make so much sense as their clientele would be more likely to have electric vehicles. Most of them also have gas stations and theres a bunch of space available around. Maybe if Walmart shows it's been good for business they will.

Sounds about right, I remember back in the 80's this town was booming with oil field work, good times for everyone. Sad but true I don't know any state without corrupt politicians, they're all whacked in the head. Just some more so than others lol.Louisiana is in the bottom 10 states for EV adoption.
Reasons:
They didn't allow Tesla to sell in the state. 2017 law.
Oil and gas industry is very powerful in the state.
Corrupt politicians.
Texas has a law that you cannot buy directly from the manufacturer or even in one of the 30+/- showrooms that they have in the state but they still moved their headquarters here and built a massive Gigafactory in the Austin area, but you have to purchase the vehicle from out of state and have it shipped or you can pick it up out of state!Louisiana is in the bottom 10 states for EV adoption.
