Costco partnered with a company founded by former SpaceX engineers to provide fast electric vehicle charging services to customers at one Florida location.
If Costco had DC fast charging (at an equivalent discounted rate to their gasoline sales), I’d be using Costco fast charging on many road trips. This would be especially nice because Costco stores are well distributed over USA and Canada to lots of place I like to go! In the time it would take me to walk from the parking lot to the Snack Bar for a cheap hotdog and soda, my car would likely be nicely topped off whether I’m paying in greenbacks or loonies.
Seriously. The parking near my Costco is so bad I haven’t gone in two months. If it wasn’t worth the membership price for the tire service alone I’d probably cancel.
The Costco near me regularly has a handful of Teslas and other EVs parked in its lot. ICEd or not, I’m willing to bet those spots will be occupied virtually all the time.
Costco customers famously don’t live in detached housing where charging at home is trivial.

Given how cutthroat Costco parking is near us, I’d be shocked if the spots weren’t ICEd.

Oo, that has multiple meanings now.
Sad upvote. :(
