“Increasing fast chargers along evacuation routes will increase confidence in going electric. Electric vehicles are key to slashing the climate change pollution driving the extreme heat, flooding and sea level rise already harming Floridians' health. Clean cars save on fuel and also avoid tailpipe emissions that cause asthma attacks, emphysema, and some cancers.”

“Many of our cities in the Southeast, like Atlanta and Charlotte, struggle with substantial traffic, growing populations and meeting federal air quality standards each year. These newly proposed standards, in addition to the new fuel efficiency standards adopted last year, will help ensure that all vehicles on the road emit less pollution. This means even drivers with older cars will see some benefit. Most importantly, the rules will help improve air quality and public health, preventing tens of thousands of asthma attacks, reducing many thousands of lost work or sick days, and saving billions of dollars that would be lost productivity annually.”
“Hypocrisy? Absolutely. FPL's argument that non-solar users subsidize solar users is driven by unvetted and incomplete information.”

“North Carolina ranks 17th nationally for both passenger EV sales and fast-charging station deployment. But when the state's population is taken into account, those rankings fall to 27th and 37th, respectively, demonstrating ample room for growth.”
“Electric vehicles are much cleaner and they're actually better. They drive better and provide benefits for customers. They also create jobs for our state. So, the notion that somehow or another solving for the climate crisis leads to a lack or jobs or lack of innovation is 180 degrees incorrect.”
