There is one in front of my Walgreens and my Albertsons market and many in Downtown Seattle. The state installed them all along the I 5 hwy from Oregon to the Canadian border every 40 miles they left out the metro area but that has been covered by the county. The state (and my county) had a big push to encourage the purchase of electric cars. You swipe your credit card and they are a quick charge so charge up fast full charge for a car is 30 min. A friend has a leaf and says she can always find a place to charge up, doesn't even pull her dodge out of the garage for trips unless she is going east of the mountains or out of state. State paid 1 mill for the whole network to be put in. I don't know what king county paid for the metro Seattle part but they received a 1 mil grant from the feds to help offset the cost.
