“Our family business began with a single gas station. My great-grandmother and two of her daughters worked at a local factory making Model T parts to help supplement the pay her husband was bringing home as a stone cutter. When they saved enough and made a handshake deal with a local bank for a loan, it was time to open their doors to neighbors and tourists who passed their station on New Hampshire’s main north-south throughway.

“They took care of their community in more ways than one, providing not only support for local motorists, but a helping hand to neighbors in need. That commitment has passed down through four generations of my family. Knowing that we can help electric vehicle drivers get where they’re going connects me back to my great-grandparents and their first business venture.

“Our chargers are often among the busiest in the area, and they are the most used across the whole Ford Charge network. I am proud of our team at Grappone Ford who made this a reality,” said Grappone Osmer.
