Do people ever offer electrical outlets or EVSE for fellow EV owners to use?
I've had my Leaf for eight months or so, and for the most part it's great. But I live in San Jose, and sometimes want to go to San Francisco. The round-trip is just a little out of the range of the car (unless I drive really slowly). Usually it's okay, because I'm able to charge near where I want to be in the City.
But now I need to make a trip, possibly overnight, where the nearest charging station is a 25 minute walk away. It's a public garage, but I don't know if I can leave my car there overnight, nor what the access hours are.
I wonder if there's a way to say, "I could really use a boost in this neighborhood" and have someone say, "I've got a plug two blocks away you can use."
Thanks,
Rick
