All,
I’m not thinking of open spaces, I’m asking you what large companies come
to mind if you could go to *their site* and offer free EV test drives to
their employees at that business. My UTMCK example may not have been a
good one.

Also, the super chargers at Turkey Creek. There's a lot of room there.

That could work and I am willing to help as time and schedule permits. As
for businesses I would approach Nissan and Chevy dealers as the are both
selling compelling EVs and Whole Foods with their charging.

All,
We are working on a relationship with Mercedes of Knoxville and smart USA
wherein we’d like to work to show one of their smart fortwos at multiple
events throughout the year. Hopefully in a few weeks we will know where
this stands, but I’m reaching out to you all to ask this question:
*If we could setup a test driving of EVs event at larger businesses in the
Knoxville area, what businesses come to mind for you?*
I’ve had all of the staff and workers at UT Medical Center in my mind for
some time, and we worked on such a couple of years ago. The thought was
that we’d show up with a few EVs that we would have for the day, and once
all the approvals were in place we’d basically spend the better part of the
whole day at the location letting people get in the vehicles but hopefully
having a boatload of test drives. I would expect that we would plan well in
advance and work with that entity to get them to internally communicate
that we would be there that day to all of their staff multiple times in
advance of the event.
I appreciate any thoughts you have on this!
Peace
