these of course come with their own tradeoffs, but you take what you can get

    No, my question was, how much of the 2-3% yearly reduction within Bay Area is just shifting the emission to elsewhere?

      Yeah if we factor in the source of the power we might be looking at a not-so-exciting statistic.

      However it does put us into position to take advantage of the inevitable greening of the grid. It would be foolish to wait until it is completely greened before beginning the transition to EV’s.
