- mind you, there was a charger at the school I went to, but my electric car paid for itself in the difference in fuel last year - Reagen Apr 11, 14:34 6

  - so I worked for a 50k person employer until about a year ago. ev charging while parked at work was $1.25 per hour on top of the monthly parking fee - judge indianapolis jones Apr 11, 14:36 4
    - that's wild. Parking garages in this city throw in EV charging for free. - Reagen Apr 11, 14:41 3
      - I think our parking garages in town add 75 cents per hour for charging. -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Apr 11, 14:46

This. I'm one of those filthy renters and I've owned my plug in Prius for more than a year and never plugged it in - JD Apr 11, 14:26
