Plugging in my electric car on UPS property

[Rodney25]

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...

Not gonna happen.

Not gonna happen.

Never go to the upper Midwest then. In Minnesota we had plugs outside so employees could plug in their personal vehicles in winter.

Block heaters are a different story.

Ask really nice, and UPS and Tesla might just install a supercharger just for you.





(And set a precedent for @KingofFluff.)

You've gotta admit. UPS has a great PR team.

You're right, I bet the block heaters cost more to operate

I don't know about the cost difference (and I'm too lazy to check), but here you go.

Owning/leasing an all electric car where I live would be impractical at best.

Why?

I don't think they'll ever make an electric truck for my uses.
I carry wet objects in the bed .
I launch and recover boats in salt water , some times the rear wheels need to go under the water .

Why?

Electric cars are garbage in cold weather. Your battery efficiency is terrible

.....You do realize they protect the battery packs from that kind of stuff, right? It's not like you're driving a toaster down the boat ramp.

Dave doesn't need much range. He'd be just fine.

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.
