So, Connor and I made a father son road trip as far as Belton today, doing a little recon for the possibleSC location. Didn't find anything, including the two rest stops just past Jerrell. While I was driving back I was thinking about a couple of things. First, I am not sure the idea of the charging stationis being at the rest stops is valid since these are owned by TxDot and I am not sure a state agency can allow the installation of a simply put, privately owned feelings station (whether its electric or hydrocarbon based). Second, if the locations in California all seem to be located in areas where ther are other activities and restaurants right near by, then the rest stops don't make sense there either. If I were planning them and the thought was to make it be a way for drivers to get from San Antonio to Dallas, the the Round Rock outlet mall makes more sense and the same in Hillsboro and San Marcos. Not necessarily the best for us Austinites but we are the little cousin to the big metro areas.
Guess we just have to wait and see. If I am wrong there is a nice spot next to Starbucks in temple that would be a nice place. Just saying.
