Is it an appropriate use of this forum to attempt to establish how many electric car (Leaf) users there are in Palo Alto, CA? Is a group like the EAA perhaps more appropriate?
If so, what is the way to go about this? Are there web experts with suggestions and organizing skills. Is an effort already underway?
The Blink network reports to us that we use 100 to 200 kW/mo to power a Leaf used for local shopping, etc. by two retirees. The city utility bills for kWhr. Am I correct in equating these and that someone is perhaps using inappropriate terminology. The number of kWhr seems to have increased by about what Blink reports.
Palo Alto has a tiered rate structure. Electric car charging, regardless of the time of day, is a top dollar activity. There is great protection for 'heritage trees' which often block access to sunlight for rooftop solar panels.
Does anyone know of an effort to change Palo Alto's apparent negative attitude towards electric cars?
