I read your front-page article on electric-vehicle charging kiosks at Hannaford (“Hannaford charges ahead with new electric kiosks,” Sept. 24).

Why, just the other day I pulled in next to the electric recharge kiosk at the Augusta Hannaford, which was being repaired by two men. Guess what they were driving? A gas-powered Dodge van.

“Hmmm,” I said to myself, “I think I am witnessing irony.”

So I ask the two guys: “Why aren’t you driving an electric van?” One technician replies, “We drive over 200 miles a day, and when they can produce a van that can do that on electric, we will get one.”

Irony! Oh, sweet irony!
