Your employer is offering it free to you but everyone else is paying for it. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Send your fellow citizens a thank you note.
Free is "free" the employer is encouraging the technology and paying the bill.
I don't think that you or the rest of the country are being billed for it.
Even if metered to the employee it would encourage the technology.
Many far North companies offer power outlets for engine heaters and this is not a big stretch from this practice.
Sounds more like sour grapes to me.
I might consider an electric car for commuting if my company had a charging station even if I paid for it.
Probably the electric car is the future, but it will be delayed until the right group has the only way to get the money out of the deal!.
I know all about the SPORT and FUN of ICE cars and I like fun cars, but I also consider transportation to be a utility to get me from point A to B.
Electric cars are now pretty dull, but don't necessarily have to be.
Also "Of course" the price of oil is dropping and the driving force of economy might well be counter to the development of electric vehicles.
All of that being said I like my TWO JSW TDIs.
