You can now charge them while parking at DIA. Of course it will cost you $23/day to park, but you can charge your car for "free"

DIA installs electric-vehicle charging stations
DENVER - Customers who park their plug-in electric vehicles in the east and west parking garages at Denver International Airport will soon be able to charge up at one of 10 new electric vehiclecharging stations.
The charging stations, which are scheduled to be installed this fall, will be free to customers who pay to park in the garages. The chargers are compatible with most electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, including popular models such as the Chevy Volt, the Nissan Leaf and the plug-in version of the Toyota Prius.

It's a rare event when the car breaks the crash test rig! My problem with most of these "green" cars is the cost and the faux green-ness. Lead-acid batteries, Nickle, and Lithium based batteries are not environmentally friendly and the damage that the manufacture and disposal of them costs more and does more damage to the environment than what it takes to build the first version of a Hummer one for one.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

If you're in the long-term lot and your battery dies, they will jump you for free

What do they give us who park in the long term "economy" parking? Free break-in service and extra exercise trying to find your car?
Well, at least it looks like the Tesla did also have one of the best ever crash test results.

The only bug left to fix is to stop electrocuting the people trying to test it. lol
