Can I charge my electric car at work?

I want to get an electric car but I’m worried about how I’ll charge it. Is there a way I can charge my car while I’m at work?

Good question, thanks for asking! Charging your car at work is possible, but it depends on the workplace. The easiest way to charge a car at work is using public or private chargers available to you in parking lots.
Your workplace might provide
charging stations
in their company parking lot, or if you park in a public lot, they might be available there.
Portable chargers
are being invented, but they are nowhere near being mass-produced, so your access to a charger will depend on where you are.
As this is a relatively new concept, it’s unlikely that a large proportion of businesses will already be catering to EVs. If they do have charging stations, some might allow vehicles to charge for a certain amount of hours before charging a standard per-hour rate for electricity.
Some businesses might start using charging stations as a perk to draw new employees. Having such a convenient and affordable way to charge their EVs would be a significant bonus to any employee. Some have already implemented the strategy and let the public access the chargers after business hours.
Before buying an EV, it’s important to think through every aspect of owning one, including insuring it. Let the friendly experts at
