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!

There is a bit of contention for spaces where I work. 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.

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!
