    Ok, I’m curious. What kind of preparation needs $400k to sell EVs? A part installing a few charging stations, I don’t know…

      Probably a dozen charging stations and the electrical work needed to support them, that would eat a lot of the 400k as my work spent about a quarter of that for 8 but already had tons of extra electrical capacity as were a Casino and therefore built for high power draw.

      Then training seminars for staff, and probably needing to buy a few of the flagship EVs for show. (Dealerships buy the vehicle from the manufacturer then sell it at up charge to consumers, they’re probably going to be required to pick up a decent inventory up front)

      From what I understood back when i looked at it, it included a DC charging station, training for staff, and priority for demo vehicles and inventory
