I looked up public chargers in my town and unless I'm missing something they are silly expensive, only for Teslas, or free (well sort of, they are in a paid parking garage).

The paid ones are $.16 a minute flat rate. Granted they can supply more than my car can take but I would be a fool to charge there. It would cost about a dollar per mile.

I have a feeling the "free" ones are always taken by downtown professionals who get to the parking garage first thing in the morning. I as a downtown shopper will never be able to use them. Plus I skip the paid parking anyway and walk a whole 3-4 blocks instead.

PS of course as a PHEV I don't have to charge anywhere. As a one week ownership update we traveled a total of 160 miles and it was 100% ev all charging at home on just the 120V charger. The gas motor hasn't started once since we bought it although just 10 days of ownership.
