Fred, I do not believe that the owner of the EV would have opted for
charging at your place, my place or my Dad's place (all of which have 20A
and larger (up to 50A) outlets available for charging upon request. After
reading more about the individual in Georgia, I am more and more inclined
to think that his intent was to take as much as he could from the facility,
since he was previously asked to not use the tennis courts (apparently due
to his obstructing a phys ed class' use of the court), and his claim that
the "lessons" were for his son (who does not seem to have even been playing
at the time (although he was)). His approach (according to reports of the
officer's video) was one of arrogance and intimidation.
For all the attention that the case has raised, it seems, sadly, that the
most notable fact is that the owner of the EV was an arrogant jerk, and is
in no fashion a poster child for the EV movement.
