I just wanted a 120V regular plug. Anything helps when your car is just sitting there. They said no. I told a Doc who had just bought an EV they won't even tap in to the existing light wiring to add 120V. 3 months later 12 spots with level 2 charging. Since i work 12hr shifts, I try to space my days so I can charge up for free and won't need a charge for a day or 2 depending on how much I drive. I also carry an extension cord and park near an outlet on those rare occasions I eat out. No one cares. Maybe management, but its " I'm sorry.i didn't know I couldn't do that." Act embarrassed pay for my meal and quickly leave. It's like siphoning gas out of company vehicles. Fuck em. permalink fedilink source parent
