“As California continues to lead the nation’s Electric Vehicle Initiative, with a 2025 goal to have 250,000 charging stations and to have 5 million EVs on the road by 2030, milestone projects like this highlight how we can work together to provide solutions for communities while working toward California’s carbon neutrality goals.” ( – Nadra Ehrman; Sustainability Director, Towbes Group)
The Community Environmental Council and Central Coast Clean Cities Coalition, who have championed EV charging adoption and infrastructure for years, have also lent their EV industry knowledge.
