2023-03-08 18:00 - 20:00 | San Diego Automotive Museum & Zoom, 2080 Pan American Plaza, San Diego, 92101, United States
For March we will cover two topics – NEM 3.0 and a proposed cable management solution for home chargers.
Net Metering 3.0 is scheduled to go into effect this April. It will drastically change how utilities will compensate customers with home solar for excess generation. One of the stated objectives is to encourage home batteries to store the excess rather than on the grid.
Anyone with a home charger faces the problem of wrangling a thick charge cord on the floor or ground. Susan Linwood will present her solution and show some of the prototypes working in her garage.
Again we plan on having a hybrid meeting. Join via Zoom or come in person and enjoy some pizza.

Anyone that lives near a body of water will appreciate what promises to be a merger of an Aptera land vehicle with a Candela boat.
Again we plan on having a hybrid meeting. Join via Zoom or come in person and enjoy some pizza.

June Monthly Zoom Meeting
2022-06-08 18:00 - 19:00 | Virtual EV Meeting
Join Us Wednesday, June 8,
@ 6 pm on Zoom
This month we have a guest speaker – Zane DeVitre-Shalauta, Graduate student – Climate Science and Policy EV Infrastructure
Zane is a graduate student in the Scripps Institute of Oceanography’s program in climate science and policy.

Transportation remains the largest source of carbon emissions in the state of California and decarbonizing that sector is going to be key to combating the climate crisis. Zane is currently planning to focus on this issue for his thesis project.

Zane is working on a project titled Leading the Charge: Ensuring the Future of EV Charging Infrastructure. Widespread EV adoption depends on reliable, equitable charging infrastructure. AB 1738 is a piece of legislation that aims to further this goal. This presentation will touch on the bill itself along with some proposed methods of making EV charging more affordable and accessible.

Hope to see you all there!
