Free EV charging

The Issue

Hello fellow Electric Vehicle drivers, future EV owners and colleagues! As you know, the employee garage on 4th St has electric vehicle charging stations. Unfortunately they are nearly the same cost of charging as Tesla chargers themselves. Shouldn’t there be some sort of city employee benefit for owning and driving an electric vehicle? This is something the County of Santa Clara was in support of because Reid Hillview Airport in fact has a charging station (with two charging ports) that are free to use! If the county could fund and support this charging station, then surely the City of San Jose can provide the similar benefit for us City workers. Which is why I am starting this petition to implore the good people of the City Council of San Jose to install payless chargers. These would only be for the use of city employees to charge their EVs and to ensure security, our respective city badges could be issued the clearance to activate the chargers upon use. Please help me in getting this petition passed and heard to the people capable of making change!
