Out of curiosity, why couldn't you charge it at home? Most electric cars can have their chargers plugged into a standard wall outlet. It's slower, but it works fine.
I'd love to have one too but I live in the city now instead of the suburbs. My car is parked on a concrete pad in the alley behind my house, a good 80 feet from any electricity. I could probably charge at work though by just parking in the warehouse and plugging in to one of the many extension cords we have around.
I mean, if your employer doesn't mind, that could be a hell of a cost-effective way to keep it topped up.
I'm the VP so I'd better be able to get away with it lol
Yeah, I'm gonna guess you won't get in trouble for it then.
