I think what is really needed to promote EV adoption is EVSE's in every parking lot.
In MA, I think there are only two places with more than two spots, Logan Airport with ~20 and one forward thinking Stop and Shop with 9. Other than that you are lucky if you town has two. Many with large shopping centers have none.
To facilitate this, I would have a 100% subsidy on the installation for up to 5% of the parking spaces, on the condition that the the usage of the equipment was open to the public and free of charge for 5 years. This is a basic infrastructure program and the results good for all purchasers of BEV and PHEV no matter what their income.
Discuss!
(Ok, it is REALLY good for EVSE makers but beyond that....)
