Of course if you can plug in for free at work, that certainly changes things.

I daily drive a Lotus. None of this applies to me.
And my apartment uses a ridiculously small amount of electricity over the course of a year, with no AC, no heat, and a gas stove and range. My electric bill is rarely more than $20 a month. So I never even get into the 2nd tier.
