The project is 150 miles from our office, as the crow flies, and has the capacity to generate power for 68,000 homes! Read more: https://lnkd.in/gT5hbxSi

"Residents of multi-family housing typically can't influence the installation of charging infrastructure in the buildings where they live, creating a real barrier for EV adoption that residents of single family homes don't typically encounter. Ava is building out our public DC fast charging network to help provide relief to this issue and see if through offering reliable, accessible charging infrastructure near our customers who live in multi-family housing, if that will bend the EV adoption curve further within our service territory and help more of our customers join this electrification journey." - Lori Bilella, Director of Clean Energy Services at Ava Read more about our our EV charging plan and Bay Area EV adoption: https://ow.ly/YOCy50ShwNO
