Apple opened a subsidiary that is a power company, Let's them feed power to the grid from remote renewables locations and use it to cover the power use of their stores and NOCs. When I worked there it always impressed me how many free chargers they have.

The new Spaceship campus has a parking garage covered in panels and then buckets of free charging inside. Even their visitor center has a giant underground parking garage with a big block of free to the public chargers on every level.
Back on topic: I am not sure what to say about leaving the slow chargers to the Leafs. Is that what you deserve for having purchased a Leaf, all the free chargers? For a long time, I used to charge at the local mall, it was free to charge and I dropped the car off at night and it was charged by the morning. Usually, the other free space was empty all night. This same mall has the Alameda Supercharger. Occasionally I would get a note to move my car, this isn't for Teslas. But this is free ad-supported charging for mall customers... No? Why just BMWs and Fords?
A friend of mine was upset at me for using one of the free chargers next to the Atascadero Supercharger while we were at Blade Runner across the street. I would need to charge to get home from that drive, but not so much that I couldn't fill during the movie. Seemed perfect to me.
Should I leave the free charging to the Leafs of the world like the Google employee above and take it on the chin because I purchased the expensive car with the pay-for fast-charging network that no one else can use? I think this is a part of EV Etiquette that needs more exploration. Along with the guys that leave their car at the CHAdeMO charger for hours while they go out with friends. Guess they can't tell when their car is done charging from remote like we can.
