In some ways it would make sense for me, I have a 20 mile commute and if I could charge it at work I would use zero fuel on a daily basis.

Actually the fuel your using is being burned at the
power plant to make the electricity, so the “save
the planet” argument doesn’t hold up. You’ll have
to pay for the electricity to recharge at each end.
Your employer will have to spend money to wire
a location for charging and bill you for what you
use and maintenance of the charging area. The
electric drive is quieter than an internal combustion
engine, but that means the blind folks are going to
force a noise maker onto the car so they can hear
it coming across a parking lot. My hybrid has
surprised a few folks who didn’t hear it in a
parking lot when running in electric mode.
