There was absolutely no need to have any technical knowledge on charging. Giving Canadian Tire an exclusive on ALL auto services was the problem here. There should have simply been a carve out for alternative fuels of any kind.

Also, how long is this contract for? Is CT still going to refuse to allow Tesla and Electrify Canada chargers in 2030?
