Kudos Bruce Kudos!!! Great idea!!! On a serious side, I’d check with a local electrician to see what restrictions there be on how many electrons can be pumped without taxing your electrical infrastructure and what may need to be beefed up. Especially if you are planning multiple charge points.
Would it be better to offer several more Level 1’s than a single or two Level 2’s? On an 8 hour shift, Level 1 would provide 3 to 5 miles an hour of charging; enough to cover a round trip commute in most cases. As being a veteran, do you need any help financially? Good luck to you at the VA. Please keep us informed as you go along!
