At my work, there are 6 free charging stations. It was cool until..... there were more than 10 of us fighting for the same charge stations. They are ChargePoint stations which has a great website and alerts that can be configured to let you know when your car is fully charged. Problem is the charging is free to all and parking spots are right up front. People park all day even when the typical charge takes only 3 hours. Worse, I've seen EVs parked that aren't even plugged in.
I have a 2016 base model and in the winter, I use 70% of my 100% charge for a measly 32 mile trip back home running the heat and highway speeds. My lease is ending next year and due to the charging contention issues, I do not see myself getting another EV. Until people started to treat it more like a gas pump and park elsewhere when fully charged, I'm out.
Anyone else in the same boat?
