Frequently Asked Questions

Most new ones, 200 miles. Some more expensive models, 400 miles.

Maybe nothing. Your boss can afford to let you do it for free.

About $4 for fifty miles.

Significantly less. If the electricity is produced with natural gas, not quite half as much as an ICE powered car. If it's solar or wind electricity, way less.

 Not as often as gasoline cars.

 Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Equinox, Ford Mustang and Lightning Truck, VW, Volvo, BMW, Toyota, Hyundai and more.

In the company lot or in the apartment parking area, probably two hours for 50 miles. Or you might have chargers that will do it in one hour.

The property owner will pay about $4 for the electricity. They might pass that on to you. The installation could very easily be less than $1,500 out of pocket after rebates are counted. 

  No. There’s no electricity in the cord until it is securely and properly attached to the car.

Your car won’t go. It knows if the cord is still connected.

 Overnight. Ten or eleven hours for 50 miles.

 It would be good to install some extras. An initial group of four at your place could serve as the pilot project. Then as more people show up with their EVs, proceed with the second increment of a master plan. 

 Establish protocols. Maybe if more than half of the EV slots are open, then a non-EV can park. In your lot it will be pretty obvious if somebody is being a jerk. If it happens twice, leave them a little love note. 

Up to $7,500 from the Federal Government and an additional $4,000 in VT, $2,500 in MA, $2,000 NY, $5,000 NJ, and maybe get $4,000 help to buy a used EV. (All subject to change, of course.)

 Hard question! Maybe that they’re fun to drive, no engine you have to get wound up to get you going. They’re quiet. No fuss!  No stops at the gas station and no appointments for an oil change. And of course, that good feeling knowing you’re a better a good citizen, putting a little less carbon up where there’s already more than enough.
