There are 4 parking spots for EV's in the deck at downtown Kent. Work pays for me to park in the deck but the Chargepoint chargers cost 35 cents/kWhr (and that's the discounted rate for people that have deck parking, otherwise it's 54 cents/kWhr). It's cheaper just to use gas in the Volt, so I don't charge there. It's 42 miles round trip to work and in the summer I do EV only, but in the winter I have to use about 10 miles gas on cold days. It would be nice if they charged a reasonable rate for charging!

In my assigned garage, there is one L2 charging station, with one space designated for EVs. A week or so ago, the designated spot was occupied by a Volt that seemed to have been abandoned - it was parked in the space for four days straight, as far as I could tell. Nearby, an obstruction was marked off with several orange cones. One day when I was leaving, I moved one of the cones to block the space adjacent to the Volt, and sure enough, the next day that space was available for me. We'll see how long I can get away with this subterfuge. I have been contacting the parking authorities from time to time trying to make a case for marking two spaces for a single charger, probably time to do so again. Cal Frye PS - I've seen a Ford CMax, two Volts, four Leafs (including mine), an i3, and a Bolt all circling the space, fortunately not all at the same time. It's certainly time to request more chargers! > Dan Baker via EV <mailto:ev@lists.evdl.org> > December 8, 2017 at 7:27 AM > Hey everyone thanks for the response so far.
