Smart City San Diego and the San Diego Zoo invite you to join us at the Solar-to-EV project dedication ceremony.
Join Mayor Jerry Sanders at the San Diego Zoo on Tuesday, November 27 for the unveiling of the Solar-to-EV Project - a 90-kilowatt solar photovoltaic canopy that will charge electric vehicles (EVs) in the Zoo parking lot.
One of the first of its kind in the region, the Solar-to-EV Project harnesses energy from the sun to directly charge plug-in electric vehicles, store solar power for future use and provide renewable energy to the surrounding community. The project will serve as a new energy infrastructure blueprint that can be replicated throughout the region and beyond, and is a cornerstone in the City of San Diego’s ongoing efforts to modernize and install innovative sustainable solutions at Balboa Park in anticipation of the Park’s centennial celebration in 2015.
California has established the most aggressive greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals in the nation. With almost 40 percent of California’s GHG emissions coming from transportation, the state’s goal to reduce transportation GHG by more than 13 million tons by 2020 is aggressive. Integrating clean transportation alternatives will be critical to achieving these goals.
The carbon dioxide saved by the Solar-to-EV Project is equal to:
• Removing 21 cars from the road each year
• Removing 189,216 lbs. of CO2 from the atmosphere
• Planting 2,788 trees and allowing them to grow for ten years
Speakers:
• The Honorable Mayor Jerry Sanders, City of San Diego
• Jim Avery, Senior Vice President of Power Supply, S D G & E
• Rick Gully, President, Zoological Society of San Diego
Looking forward to seeing some LEAF owners at the event....
