Okay, the quote came back from AeroVironment for the installation of an L2 charger, and it is so outrageous that it's hysterically funny.
So here's the "giant post-it note" of the EVSE that they put on the wall while reviewing my garage.
My breaker panel, which has plenty of space for the new breaker, is immediately to the left of this picture. There's probably one wall stud separating the breaker panel and where I want the L2 charger to go.
The quote?

$1,221.87 to run maybe two to three feet of wire and a grand total of an hour if the guy stops to have a beer with me before he's done.
Yeah, no. Thanks anyway. If work doesn't put in the L2 chargers so I can charge up at the office, I'll just be hitting EVSEUpgrade.com.
Oh I would also mention that while they put the Leaf "Post-It" on the wall, this was for a Mitsubishi I. I've since canceled my order for the I and bought a 2011 Demo Leaf. I found it amusing that they were using Leaf pics for a Mitsubishi install though. Even the quote had Nissan all over it. Mitsubishi would be so thrilled.
