“There’s a big economic opportunity there,” says Alan Jenn, an electric-car expert at the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis.
Dahlia Garas, manager of the UC Davis Electric Vehicle Research Center, tests the reliability of an electric vehicle station operated by Electrify America, in downtown Sacramento on Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024.
“I think that we will buy less new cars altogether, which is not good for the economy and the environment,” said Gil Tal, director of the Electric Vehicle Research Center at UC Davis. “Because new cars — electric and gas — are usually more efficient and clean.”
