It’s probably promoted as a perq at the companies. As to dealing with the “rage”, the best solution would be to spend a few bucks to have an “app” written, so that when your car is done, it pings you to let the next person plug in, and also manages the queue. When you get to work in the morning, you “check in” a la “Foursquare”, and the app tracks you on a first-come/first-serve basis, and routes each car to the first available station (since different EVs will have different charge times). You could even put in a function to allow you to charge to a certain level, rather than a full charge, to minimize wait time.

Wait until the Ford C-Max Solar Energi goes commercial and all the EVs in your lot move themselves throughout the day to maximize their juice from the sun.

Just wait for the lawsuits to fly when a person gets crushed under the wheels of a C-Max moving 0.0001 mph.

Yess...so you could spend part of the workday jockeying your car around and get paid for it....it would be like an extra coffee break for anyone driving an EV...Brilliant idea!
