We also shifted about, maybe, 100 miles of driving from my gasser to the Leaf over the past week.
I suspect that a lot of businesses will offer free or strongly reduced charging, paying a few cents to lure someone to your store/restaurant is perhaps even one of the cheapest forms of advertising to the relatively rich group of EV owners.
