August 12, 2023

In the August 2023 meeting we discuss National Drive Electric Week with Sonoma Clean Power, the Bolt’s return, and cost of charging versus gasoline. This meeting was shorter since we focused on peer-to-peer discussion at a picnic.

Post meeting, discussions were had of vehicle purchase experiences, early EV failures and rehabilitation, outreach to community, and EVSE charging speeds.
