Maybe they’re preparing to get the hell out of California.

I imagine that charging a car takes quite a while, not like filling up with gas. Parking spots are at a premium in CA and electric cars are not exactly common.

Maybe Costco analyzed their most recent electric bill. I’ve been saying this since this was first proposed: what employer is going to provide charging stations to their employees for free?
To: NormsRevenge
Geez... Doesn't it take a while to do any significant charging? How many customers could get any use out of the thing in a day? Does Costco charge anything for somebody to use their electricity and tie up the charger- or do they have more than one at a store?
Looks like somebody got tired of a warm-and-fuzzy symbolism-over-substance gizmo and freed up some space...

Even Costco, which I have refused to patronize ever since I found out the CEO donates vast sums to Democrats, must respect the bottom line. No doubt it occurred to someone that every electric station was sitting there idle, while the gas pumps had lines around the parking lot.
It's not personal, greenies, it's business.

The plug for an electric car is the same for an RV (250V-20A-1P). My guess is that Costco could have felt it was a legal liability to provide a receptacle.

Costco didn’t want the responsibility to safeguard these charging types while the animals in CA lurked in the nearby bushes.
