I have been speaking to Enterprise, our fleet and EV partner, but unfortunately at this time my company cannot afford the vehicles. I plan to get in the program as soon as I can. E.W.E. is only in our second year and one of our build projects has been severely held up by 11 months, which has constructed our cash flow. My plan is switch to the EV fleet when I can afford it because not only is it better for the environment, it also opens up our job pool as car ownership overall is prohibitively expensive. I'm saddened to know I might be losing business because I can't afford them yet. But I understand your point. As for the other KC stores, I do not own them and do not know that franchisee's views or financial standing.
Thank you asking.
