The press release goes on to say, “In the Bay Area, the transportation sector accounts for more than 50 percent of air pollution. Significant emission reductions from the transportation sector will help the Bay area attain and maintain state and national air quality standards.”
“The residential portion of the program will kick off by this winter, Ralph Borrmann said.
The board has not decided the exact method for disbursing the funds to residents, Borrmann acknowledged; however, he suggested that it could be done through a voucher or rebate program. The charging stations will be manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, a company that produces electric vehicle infrastructure systems.”
“The scale of the project is much larger than previous initiatives; the city of San Francisco installed three public charging stations in 2009.”
