Cody Francis has entered the electric vehicle world after a career in marketing. He is in the envious position of enjoying an income from his other businesses that allows him to follow his passion for EVs. I recently interviewed Cody for this article. “is a company that we started after purchasing a Tesla. Having had a background in tourism and especially regional tours, I saw the opportunity to supply cost effective commercial charging solutions.
He puts his product under the nose of those who will benefit from it. “What’s in it for me,” they ask. Many venue operators can’t see the need yet. However, after the initial contact, they start to notice how many EVs are on the road, and rapidly their numbers are increasing. Cody is making the venue owners aware of a problem they don’t know exists, then offering a value-for-money solution. Customers who drive an EV will go where they can get a recharge.
On a lighter note, Cody shared with me some of the ways he deals with objections from the general public. He has a quick wit and an extensive repertoire. I am hoping he can join us for some of the EV events coming up in the second half of this year.“Oh, electric cars? Have you been in one? No? So you would rather believe what the petrol companies are telling you? What about recycling those big batteries? You have been using phones, laptops, etc.
