California
now has more than 350,000 electric vehicles (EVs) on the road
as of the end of 2017. With battery prices coming down and
charging ranges increasing, EVs increasingly play a key role
to help improve our region’s poor air quality – especially since
up to 80 percent of ozone pollution is caused by emissions
from cars, trucks and other mobile sources.
Find out about EVs, charging and current incentive funding
programs for both vehicles and infrastructure at the
"EVs Made EZ Workshop" on Jan. 23 in Stockton. The
event will be from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the PG&E
Stockton Energy Education Center, 3136 Boeing Way. Large and
small employers, including hospitals, school districts,
public agencies, and eTRIP employers in particular, along
with developers and owners of multi-unit dwellings, are
encouraged to attend the workshop.
