Re: HyVee Growth Plans

HyVee in Lincoln on 27th and Superior is adding 8 Tesla Superchargers. Adding charging stations seem like a great fit for them as it normally takes 30-45 minutes to charge a Tesla from 0-100.

I think this a a great fit for HyVee and hopefully them keep expanding these to other locations.
