I've seen that a nearby restaurant chain also. There are two types of
chargers, a fast (but expensive) one and a regular 110V plug in that
takes all night. Maybe it is enough to top you off for the trip to the
restaurant.

To me, it is a gimmick to give fuel to a few customers in hopes they
will patronize you while allegedly good for the environment. Electric
car owners are also skipping out on road taxes, but that will be taken
care of at some point.
