BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Visiting two supercharger stations on Labor Day, as people were putting a wrap on the last big travel day of the summer.
Bakersfield native Van Richardson was topping off his batteries at the E-V charging station on Rosedale Highway Monday morning, on his way to Barstow to see his family.
He tells me he’s new to the electric vehicle world. He had to adjust to the wait times to charge up.
Van Richardson say’s,”I do have to charge up before I get there I’m going to have 15% when I get there so I gotta make sure I got to supercharge over there.”
Triple A is calling this summer travel season a blockbuster nationwide. Richardson says having to wait a little bit to charge up won’t ‘pull the plug’ on having fun, when he gets to his destination.
