Interesting how some posts have compared and contrasted (remember that phrase from high school English class) the perk of free EV charging with other perks such as free coffee and the personal use of electric devices in work spaces.
Narrowing the focus to commuting perks, my company subsidizes the cost of using public transportation and provides a special parking area for car poolers, both intended to minimize vehicular traffic in the congested city and highways feeding into ot. Another company I once worked for provided vans for van pooling, for the same reason. Subsidizing the use of EVs by providing free charging would not accomplish the same purpose.
The company has just installed 9 charging stations for EVs - 3 Blinks, 3 AVs, and 3 something else (that's physically the smallest of the three brands) - just to see what they're like. The company does have 1 Volt at the moment, and plans to purchase a few Leafs when they become available. Again, just to see what they're like. Unfortunately, there are no EVs available for purchase in this state yet, but the company wants to be ready for them when they do become available.
