Palmdale Station is up and running.

[Curtis]

Robertson's Honda is now open to the public with an initial cng price of $1.749. With improved storage capacity and all new equipment we should be good to go.

We are finalizing arrangements to have the equipment available to the public 24/7 and should have that worked out by next week sometime. In the mean time, we're open from 7am-9pm.

Enter the drive on the East end of the building. Pump is in the Service Drive area.

Congratulations Curtis, you've been working hard to get that darn thing open to the public!

I like to think of it as a learning curve. A big, long, arduous learning curve.

Curtis . . . fabulous work !!

Can you now branch out / franchise to build Honda dealers network in other states to replicate what you have done? It would be help cng movement immensely to have at least one cng public pump at Honda dealers in states like: NE, ND, KS, AR, TN, MS, MO, IL, IA, AZ, OH, PA, ID, MT, FL, GA, etc, etc, etc.

Keep up the good work!! Tons more to be done!!

Re: Palmdale Station is up and running.

Frankly, I'm not sure I'd want to go through this again. The issue is that Honda dealerships are owned independently. As a franchise, it's up to the dealer to decide if they wish to install infrastructure at their store.

I have encouraged Honda Corporate to promote the idea amongst their dealer network, and a few have put in small FM units for their own use. I doubt that many would even had the thought cross their minds and they'd have few resources to guide them through the process.

I would consider consulting for others that would want to take on this adventure. So spread the word... I'm for hire.

Could this have been the precursor to cngchat? Press piece describes Palmdale 2007 station opening:
