Learn about gas alternatives

WHERE WE LIVE CLUB

The Where We Live Club will meet on Monday, Sept. 11, at 6:30 p.m., in Clubhouse 3 Room 2.

Did you know that you could stop buying gasoline for the rest of your life? You could buy an electric car and potentially never buy gasoline again. You can charge the car at nearby shopping centers, but the most convenient option would be to simply charge your car in your own LW carport.

This is already happening at LW. One of the 16 Mutuals has moved ahead to allow carport charging. There are already over 1.4 million zero emission vehicles on California roads, and about 1 in 5 of all new car sales are zero emission. This proportion will increase toward 100% as it gets closer to the deadline to stop selling new gas powered vehicles in the state. There are many chargeable vehicles in LW now and interest is growing. There are reports that the Mutual offering charging is getting a lot of attention from new buyers. The future is clear. GRF has installed a charging site outside the wall and has begun phasing in electric maintenance carts which are clean and quiet.

Those who are interested in carport charging at LW are invited to discuss at the next meeting. Victor Rocha, director of Security Services, will briefly discuss the new entry system.

On Oct. 9, GRF Executive Director Jessica Sedgwick will discuss modern management practices at LW.
