As facilitated by a grant from the CEC, the City of Palo Alto, via our subcontractors, conducted a dual faceted approach to electric vehicle outreach and education. Sven Thesen & Associates conducted electric vehicle direct current fast charge siting outreach to potential strategic charging sites while Reach Strategies conducted green car rides via two electric vehicle “ride and drive” events. In conducting the direct current fast chargers’ outreach, Sven Thesen & Associates contacted 103 businesses/non-profits, shopping malls and multi-unit dwellings as a result. Sven Thesen & Associates identified 8 entities that have varying degrees of interest in installing direct current fast chargers’ systems. In completing the two green car ride events, Reach Strategies enabled over 100 individuals to either drive or ride in an electric vehicle and exposed electric vehicles to approximately 850 members of the greater Palo Alto community.
