Electric Car Dealerships

We also decided that we should go and follow up on some car dealerships that had been contacted by others in the group in regards to possibly borrowing an electric car to test drive and use for the shoot.
We made our way to the car dealership garages located in Maidstone so we could go and ask the staff there in person in regards to test driving one of their electric cars.

At first, we tried the Renault garage. They immediately said no, stating that they don't personally do that sort of thing. At this point we started to get a bit nervous, thinking that all of the car dealerships would give us the same answer.

The next garage we tried was Nissan. We had a little more luck with them, as the staff member we spoke to went to speak to management. He came back soon after and gave us a different contact number to get in touch with someone who could help us with our request.

Lastly, we tried the Mercedes Benz garage, specifically the Smart Car display. Here we were able to meet with a previous contact we had acquired before who was able to take one of our phone numbers (after checking that at least one of us was over 21 and had a drivers license) and said that they would pass our request onto management.

Hopefully this follows through so can have the opportunity to properly display our subject matter by filming the electric car in action.
