It is only half surprising. At the office, we have a solar carport with 4 chargers and 8 parking spots. As of six months ago, I have a dozen colleagues sharing the carport and optimizing the time to charge their vehicles. All employees lease electric vehicles from Nissan, Chevrolet, and Ford, taking advantage of federal and state tax credits, and cheap or free electricity.
