So, they own recharge centers too? You know this all could just be to get the product out there and the ball rolling, with franchising to come at a later date.

Bear in mind, they are dealing with resistance not only from automotive competitors, but the petroleum industry as well. Maybe they only way to prove viability is to push expansion in the short term rather than wait for an unwary market? When faced with such powerful adversaries, you'd have to stay ahead of their efforts to demean and ridicule your product.

Risky? Oh, absolutely. However......See my signature.
