Comment:
The central valley is plagued by smog, poverty, low income. Oregon and Washington have ELECTRIFIED hwy 5, we have almost NOTHING except for Tesla stations. We could drastically reduce smog, where our produce is produced, by installing quick chargers at EVERY rest stop and more between those.. Also, the 210 fwy, access out/into Los Angeles has ZERO quick chargers in the San Fernando Valley area, another high smog area! We need FREE charging stations to get people onboard. No more stations with HIGH kw rates for charging as that makes it NOT worthwhile for people to switch. Also, we don't need more "low income" subsidies as the market is becoming flooded with VERY INEXPENSIVE low mileage, used EV's. Also, we need to STOP or limit the production of plug in hybrids in CA as this defeats the point of switching to renewable. ALSO, they hog the level 2 station and people with REAL EV's often can not charge! Each rest area on the 5 should have at least 3 QC stations. Some of the funds could be spent on battery storage at rest stops along with solar panel installations...
