Go Electric! EV Webinar with Janelle London of Coltura
This year’s National Drive Electric Week is from Sep 26-Oct 4, 2020. In recognition, GreenTown is hosting an informational webinar Oct. 6 at 7pm (REGISTER HERE). Participants will get an overview of the key reasons to drive electric, hear from local electric vehicle (EV) owners, and be able to engage with them about their experiences.
One of GreenTown’s strategic objectives is to eliminate fossil fuels in transportation by encouraging electrification and other modes of transportation (walking, biking etc.). This webinar is one of GreenTown’s Go Electric! program events that advances this objective through public advocacy and education. Locally focused events like this provide a forum for the community to share concern over environmental issues, learn more, and collectively take action.
Increasing the Percentage of EVs in Los Altos/Los Altos Hills
Although Los Altos/Los Altos Hills has one of the highest rates of EV adoption in California, only about 8% of the vehicles registered are EVs according to the 2019 data published by the DMV. We envision everyone in our community considering buying an EV when they are in the market for their next vehicle. GreenTown would like to ensure that people can get educated as to why EVs are an excellent choice for the environment, learn about the latest product offerings, and get first hand information about EV owners’ experience.
