Ep. 226: WATT'S SO FUNNY? Solving the Multi-Family Charging Puzzle with Dan Krassner

Dan Krassner, electric vehicle policy expert by day and stand-up comedian by night, joins the show today to discuss the challenges of EV charging in multi-family housing, which poses a significant barrier for nearly one-third of U.S. households. The research from "EVs for All America" indicates that 70% of renters and 65% of condo owners would drive an EV if they had access to reliable overnight charging. In light of this research, Dan outlines a plan for California featuring grants for building owners to install Level 2 chargers without upfront costs, offset by tenant monthly fees, and supplemented by state tax credits to facilitate nationwide scalability in dense urban areas. But wait, there's more! Of course we had to keep the conversation fun because this is technically a WATT'S SO FUNNY episode, so you'll also hear some anecdotes about Dan's blind Shih Tzu, Toby Keith, and his one time encounter with wrestler John Cena. This is a can't miss episode if you're currently working in the multi-family charging space._______________________________Connect with Dan Krassner: [email protected] for All America is a nonprofit public education group working to ensure the benefits of electric vehicles reach every community.
