My employer said yay. I calculated how much it would cost me to trickle charge for eight hours a day, every working day of the year and offered to pre-pay my employer that amount. When he heard the explanation and how much it would be, he just chuckled, thanked me for the offer and said I could charge all I wanted and not to worry about the money. He's asked me about the car about once a week now since that conversation last year.
He was the supervisor but I lobbied the corporate office as well. They have this program to encourage alternative modes of transporation so if you ride the bus, walk, ride a bike or motorcycle, or carpool at least 4 days a week and submit the proper form once a month, you get $75.00, each month! Well, I petitioned them to add EV's to the list and after a few months of sending the HR manager information and reminders, and getting the board's approval, they added EV's to the list!
Now I just need the car!
