Gas prices keep rising while EVs become more affordable — but AB 2748 could limit access to home EV charging in disadvantaged communities. Contact your state representatives and urge them to oppose AB 2748. Click below to email or call. actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QE...

Math check on AB 2748: Build EV-ready now: ~<0.5% of project total 📉 Retrofit later: 5–10x the cost 📈 AB 2748 is penny wise, pound foolish, with costs borne by residents of affordable housing. Don’t lock in a gas-dependent future for affordable housing. Tell your Assemblymember to vote #NoOnAB2748

California bill would limit EV-charging access in affordable housing
Legislation backed by developers would waive EV-charging requirements for new low-income housing projects, just as the state looks to build 1 million more…
