Let's look at the facts: 5 cents. The Nissan LEAF gets 3.16 mi/kWh[1]. When plugged into a standard household outlet for 20 minutes you get 1.67 miles of driving (1 hour = 5 miles)[2], which by my calculation is 0.52848101 kWh of electricity. As the elementary school is in CHAMBLEE, Ga. the utility provider is Georgia Power[3]. The highest electricity rate for a school is 10.9269¢ per kWh. So a man got arrested in front of his kids and community for "stealing" $0.0577465918[4].
