| request a quote for a PICC for one or more | | | | were too low and that they should be double what we |
| vehicles(s). We were concerned about EPA issues | | | | are currently charging. I guess he is right, because we |
| with the technology originally, but we have re-designed | | | | were charging the same price we currently charge for |
| around those considerations and we are no longer | | | | the kit when gas prices were half what they are now. |
