During the blowout sales at the end of 2016, I was trying to get a MD dealer to lease me a Spark EV and register it in Oregon. Deal fell through when they refused to do it without an Oregon driver's license. With a 76 mile commute, 80 miles if I go out to lunch, I figured it would be hard on the battery, and probably impossible in the snow, if I couldn't charge at work. The good news is that the city government put a free Level 2 charger a block away from work in the summer of 2016. I could have plugged in for the morning, and then gone and fetched the car at lunchtime so I didn't hog the charger all day. Figured I'd get 2/3 of my commuting power for free that way. Turns out it was a good thing I didn't get the car, because by the fall of 2017, the city charger was wrapped in yellow police tape and taken out of service. I don't know if it broke and nobody wanted to pay to fix it, after paying to install it, or if they got tired of paying the electric bill for the two Volts and the Leaf I occasionally saw parked there. Last time I was there in August, it was still shut down, so I guess it's gone for good.
