Cracker Barrel is known for their laid back atmosphere, rocking chairs and older times in now moving forward. They look to modern technology to exist in a few of their restuarants. In 24 Cracker Barrel restuarants in Tennesse they are going to install Blink chargers. Blink chargers are provided by Ecotality Inc, which will be able to charge customer's electrical vehicles. Most of the Cracker Barrel restuarants in Tennesse are near a highway, which they think will be benefical in having a charge station in those locations. Charges will usually take 30 minutes in 12 locations and a little longer in the other ones. This is an extremely new form of technology that Cracker Barrel is offering and looks to see how it will all turn out.
This seems like a great idea, but I'm not sure how many people actually use electric cars, so it may not be worth the expense for Cracker Barrel.
