Registration opens Sept. 1
As electric cars and trucks go mainstream, they are facing many challenges. Batteries, charging stations, and source of electricity…where is all the electricity coming from? Are electric vehicles really as green as advertised? What will happen to the power grid when thousands of vehicles are plugged in overnight?
On Tuesday, Oct. 22, 1 p.m., Dru Bacon will discuss the value and considerations when purchasing electric vehicles. He will present the advantages and dangers of electric vehicles, electric grid scale storage, and things to consider when purchasing an electric vehicle, such as modification needed to the home garage to charge the vehicle. Dru, a PebbleCreek resident, is a chemical engineer and star of the award-winning 2018 documentary, “Current Revolution.”
Around the world, governments and automakers are promoting electric vehicles as a key technology to curb oil use and fight climate change. General Motors has said it aims to stop selling new gasoline-powered cars and light trucks by 2035 and will pivot to battery-powered models. Volvo said it would move even faster and introduce an all-electric lineup by 2030.
