Plugging in my electric car on UPS property

[clean hairy]

I guess I am reading the question of the OP to ask
"can I refill my electric car with fuel from UPS (electricity) without having to pay for refueling my vehicle?"
I would think that would be similar to asking if a person can refill their gas tank at the UPS gas pumps without having to pay.
Or, am incorrect in my interpretation?

I just hate when customers sneak up on me in their electric car. Scares the crap out of me and they think it's hilarious.

I don't have their package ever

I wanna be a steward

I'm TANKED

What are the UPS policies as far as plugging in my personal electric car on UPS property? Do they even have a policy for electric cars? I thought big brown had a green reputation...

You obviously do not understand the UPS culture of distrust and suspicion.

I think it's a valid concern.

You wanted to be a pilot, correct? Did you read the article on China hiring new pilots...over 5,000 per year for the next 20 years and they are paying double or triple the salary of new pilots here.

Sorry for the derail, I thought the article was interesting.

And without spending anything on advertisements. I see fed ex commercials all the time. Fed ex sponsored halftime shows. When's the last time you saw a UPS commercial? UPS, not UPS store.

Yesterday.

The company has been running "help wanted" ads on our local TV stations for their Vermont facilities for the past month or so.

Why?

The Nissan Leaf has an effective range of less than 50 miles on a full charge. It is 150 miles to my daughter's house. I could either stop 3 times along the way or buy a really long extension cord.

Probably right. But I'll be darned if I don't see a UPS truck in every movie I watch over the weekends. We might prefer to go at it subliminally.

It's called product placement.

Sometimes we pay for it and other times it is a coincidence.

The opening scene of "House" had a UPS truck parked outside the front of the hospital.

Back when remote starters first came out I was at our local Chevy dealership and the guys in the service department thought they would have a little fun with me by starting and stopping a car that was parked next to my PC.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

They actually asked for a driver to be in the movie gone girl. We declined.

Good movie.

I would have been curious how the writers would have written our driver in to their script.

I'm just trying to figure out why you can't charge it at home.

I would need permission from the condo board to install an external charging station near my parking space.

The Leaf was never intended to be anything more than a city car.

You could buy a Bolt or a Tesla 3, and with tax credits, it would probably cost less than a new Altima.

Does it have all the bells and whistles?

The Tesla does.

The Tesla does.

I don't drive enough miles to worry about fuel economy.

I don't drive enough miles to worry about fuel economy.

With gas at $2/gal, almost nobody does. With the ridiculous cost of electric vehicles, you'd have to drive to the moon to realize savings while living with the inconvenience of limited range.

My vehicle has 24k on it and it will be four years next month that I bought it.

I have a feeling many electric car buyers are going to have this attitude that they are entitled to free charging because in some cases they do get it. Tesla offers it at their stations but that's part of a very expensive car purchase.

Electricity isn't free and it isn't all that clean. Funny people think it's green. You have huge batteries that eat up massive resources to produce and the majority of electricity to continually recharge them comes from burning coal.
