A 'plug' for MINI E-friendly employers

I thought I would give my company a 'plug' for providing me with parking and access to an outlet. I have been hunting around for those special spaces in my parking structure that are near an outlet, but yesterday our commuter office gave me a space they have set up with charging access. I know many others have also gotten recharging help at their workplace. Just thought I would post a thread to give kudos for those forward-thinking companies!

- Scott

NBC Universal on board too

Hi Scott...is that Disney here in Burbank? I'm just down the street at NBC. They too provided me a space.

A Shout-out to PMRG!

PM Realty Group ([FONT=Calibri]www.pmrg.com) our building managers have been super-supportive. Not only have they accomodate my request to move my parking spot to one that is near an existing outlet (see photo), but they've allowed me to install my 220V charger there . . . when the Irvine building inspectors will allow it . . . [/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Anyway, this building management and ownership company is really dedicated to sustainable practice, LEED stuff etc. you'll see in the picture that my neighbor is a Plug-in-Prius - another field-test that PMRG are supporting.[/FONT]

I'm in Anaheim. Have not yet heard of any other MINI E drivers at Disney- I'd be surprised if there weren't any in Burbank or Glendale. Since I go to Burbank or Glendale occasionally I'll have to ask the commuter guys if anything is set up there As a side note, last I knew we also had a couple of GM fuel cell vehicles in the Studio fleet- IIRC there is a refueling station somewhere on San Fernando Rd.
