NOVEMBER 28, 2022

There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. Palo Alto’s government has set a very aggressive Sustainability and Climate Action Plan with a goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below the 1990 level by the year 2030.
