add this one to your "stocks to short" list.
I wonder if the shareholders would have approved the expense.

When I ‘HAD’ a job, I asked the boss if he would let me charge an electric car at work (if I had one).
HELL NO, was his answer!

Re-charging stations for cars no one drives. How much did it cost AMD to build them?

If these chargers don't use the SAE J1772 connector, they're effectively useless. Practically every new electric car or plug-in hybrid will use this connector, so those chargers at AMD's Austin, TX operations will need to be J1772 compatible.

That assumes there is going to be a demand for electrified Yugos.

Austin? That may be the one place in TX where people will drive those glorified go-karts.

add this one to your "stocks to short" list. AMD's stock price is about the same as it was 30 years ago.
I wonder if the shareholders would have approved the expense.
I doubt it. The taxpayers are picking up half the cost of this stunt, and I doubt many of them approved either.

“AMD said the stations cost a total of $31,000, but there is a 50 percent federal tax credit that applies.”
Sure is easy to spend that OP money!

In other words, AMD pockets $16,000 for three stations that will never see a car. Not a bad little profit!

Maybe AMD should get back to making chips instead of participating in political pandering and Intel wouldn’t be kicking their sorry asses so hard.

Well they got featured in a national news story for $15,000. Pretty cheap for advertising.

Yup. Lefty pandering can be profitable. They didn’t say they were doing it for free.

If its around town, the electric car is practical despite its limitations. If you want to drive more than an hour some place, that’s another story altogether.
