- My utility (Southern California Edison) offers a $500 rebate for installing an L2 EV charger. It has to be a full-blown charging station, not just an outlet. This covers the cost of the Tesla connector.
I keep the Tesla Mobile connector in the trunk.

Yeah I wish Texas had discounts like that. I saw that most Cali utility companies offer a rebate for level 2 charger installs. I might get some sort of J1772 wall charger and keep the mobile charger with me. I made a post on Tesla Motors Club and the consensus was that I wouldn't need to take it with me that often. I'll probably keep it plugged in unless I take a road trip with no destination charging.
Haha, you got a post in before I was able to get pictures up
