Perhaps we should delay and rethink...not cancel, but delay and rethink... our installation of the new breakers in the Savier electric room. But  I do believe that, eventually, EVs will reemerge.  I believe there would be a new resurgence under a new governmental administration.

Agree with you, Paul. 

 CNBC states this morning that there has been a nationwide drop of 3.5% on sales.

 One thought about delaying —  when the sales of E-vehicles increases new technology for charging will become available (at a more attractive cost to us).

I support spending the $6,000 we approved to complete phase 1 of the plan and doing nothing more (probably for years) to expand capacity beyond the two breaker boxes. Once the new panel is in place, owners at each end of the garage and in between may connect at a cost that isn't prohibitive.

No doubt technology will improve, but EV owners will still need to charge.

I agree with Tim. Part of the reasoning for doing this is about Encouraging EV adoption. We spent a lot of hard work and tough discussions. I’d hate to see future boards have to go through all of this again. $6000 feels like a good spend to me.

Okay with me to go through with the install.  Just thinking out loud.

Hi, all

 

EV Sales are still happening, just not growing at the moment.  On my most recent trip to California I saw 4 vehicle-hauling trucks filled with new Teslas heading north on I-5 from the factory.

 

I don’t want to delay. We approved this; let’s not revisit.
