In this virtual EV Council meeting we will discuss one of the major obstacles to EV adoption from a consumer perspective: EV affordability. Our speaker panel will provide a breakdown of the total cost of EV ownership into component parts, such as upfront vehicle and equipment purchase costs and ongoing charging and maintenance costs. The panel will also review promising solutions in the form of new programs and approaches aimed at reducing cost barriers toward providing equitable access for all. Featured speakers:
Scott John Hardman, Electric Vehicle Research Center and Institute of Transportation Studies, Univ. of California-Davis;
Josh Chanin, Senior Decarbonization Program Specialist, San José Clean Energy;
Aditya Jalihal, Assistant Program Manager, GRID Alternatives.
