Now you would think that if someone wants to use a clean, healthy way to commute to a hospital they would totally back her.
We recently bought an electric car and received a $3500 rebate check from the PA Dept of Environmental Protection. So it would seem that the state of PA would be in favor of this.
The guy who made the final decision makes the financial decisions for the hospital. He claimed that he already had one person say that if they're going to pay for my wife's transportation they better pay for their gas too.
Right from the start she offered to pay for the electricity, you know the $.10 a day that it uses.
He claims he's looking into a way to do that, I don't buy it.
So I wondered if anybody had any problems charging up at work.
I used to bring my battery and charger inside to charge up. People at my office found it strange at first but none of them said anything about the cost to the company. (of something like $0.05/day in my case)
My company is pretty good at 'don't sweat the small stuff' and place importance on things that affect us a lot more than a nickel does.
