I'll try to answer these as best as I can.

  1. I can't really recommend anything for the Volt since I haven't had to put any issues with lumbar support in it, but for another car I had issues with I decided to use my Purple seat cushion. I would presume anything that is much cheaper could work though.
  2. It depends on how much extra driving you might do during the day. Aside from work, do you need pick up kids from sports/go out to eat for dinner/go to a friends house across town? If you want to use the battery as much as possible then a 240v charger might be perfect since you can get a quick charge before running extra errands. With the 2018 you can also add something like this which will allow you to plug in to a 240v using your stock EVSE.
  3. We're actually in the process of this now! The company I work for has several people who drive PHEVs and BEVs so we have been suggesting for a long time that they should install EV chargers onsite rather than having all of us clamor over a few 120v outlets. Since we are building a new building on our campus they decided to include 8 EV chargers in the parking garage free to use. I definitely think that more voices would be more incentive for your company to install a few chargers. This is all still a fairly new technology so getting others informed is the best way to go!

i made my own (as i was connecting to an older 30A circuit for an older welder), but i've seen this one mentioned more than once for people who don't want to make their own:

and close enough, considering the cost difference.

Lots of owners do this. Amazon sells various adapters for this purpose, including this one and this one.

I agree that it's off-label use, but there has been pretty significant research into it (see this album). It's also basically the same board that's in the Amazing-e (a UL-listed 240V charger), as shown in this video.

One thing that is abundantly clear is that the adapter is fairly explicitly designed for US-style 240V use. Specifically, it has a check-light for wiring faults, and it absolutely could check that there is negligible potential difference between “neutral” and ground. It does not, because adding such a check would break US 240-volt use (while still being fine in Europe on non-split-phase power).

It's not illegal, and I think if you somehow did burn your house down, it would probably be seen as no more negligent than various other kinds of foolishness that result in the same outcome.
