Recently, I got my electric car running well enough to use for commuting to work. Based on a dozen or two trips to work, I have found that, if I take it easy on the accelerator (which leads to being tailgated frequently), I can make the round trip with almost no charge left on the batteries. When the weather gets cold, the decreased battery capacity and the need for heat (My heater runs off the batteries.) will preclude my using the car to commute unless I can charge the car during the day. Do other companies (or other AT&T locations) provide charging for electric cars belonging to their employees? If so, is the electricity provided by the company, or does the user have to pay for it? Has anyone ever asked their employer about providing this service? Any suggestions that will allow me to use my electric car for commuting this winter will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Gordon Francis (...!ihnp4!drux3!druxu!gkf) AT&T Information Systems - Denver
