Correction: Your Invited - EV Week 2024 VIP Reception and Panel Discussion
Oops - I had a senior moment. The event at the Commonwealth Clubhouse in San Francisco next week is on Friday night, not Thursday night. Carpool will leave Santa Clara around 3 PM to allow for the BART ride from Fremont. It¡¯s about a 15 minute walk from the Embarcadero BART station to the Commonwealth Club.

ACTION ALERT: Ask Gov. Newsom to sign bill AB 2401-for EVs for gasoline-burdened families
2
For those of you who believe in political action to promote EV Adoption: Consider sending a message to Gov Newsom via the red link below after reading Rob¡¯s message. You will have to create your own message to the Gov. This was mine: Best, Sybil Dear Gov. Newsom, I am writing to urge you to sign AB 2401. This is a bill with strong bipartisan support that will enhance the environmental, economic, and equity benefits of California's leading EV incentive program. It will benefit the many constituents who are eager to drive clean and green electric vehicles. This legislation sets a national precedent by directing EV programs toward those who would see the greatest benefit. The bill also maximizes the emissions reduced per dollar spent on the incentives. Thank you for your support of increasing EV adoption in California. Sincerely, Sybil Cramer From: "Rob Sargent, Coltura" <info@...> Subject: ACTION ALERT: Ask Gov. Newsom to sign bill for EVs for gasoline-burdened families Date: September 6, 2024 at 12:05:17 PM PDT To: <sybilcramer@...> Reply-To: Rob Sargent, Coltura <info@...> Dear friend, Last Friday, the California Legislature passed AB 2401 (Ting) and sent it to Governor Newsom for his signature. The bill would update California's landmark Clean Cars for All program to prioritize the switch to EVs for lower-income, high mileage drivers of older, dirtier cars. The bill has the support of a wide array of stakeholders and arrived on the Governor¡¯s desk after unanimous bi-partisan votes in both the Assembly (72-0) and the Senate (39-0). It is now up to Governor Newsom to sign the bill. The bill is a common sense bill with tremendous support. So, we hope he will sign it. But it is by no means assured. Last year, he vetoed more than 150 of 1,000 bills that reached his desk. Help get AB2401 over the finish line by showing your support for the bill.CLICK HERE to send a note to Gov. Newsom asking him to SIGN THE BILL The comments need to be sent to leg.unit@.... Clicking the button above will open the following pre-drafted sample comment to be sent to leg.unit@...: Subject: Support for AB2401 (Ting) I¡¯m writing to ask you to sign AB 2401, a practical bill with strong bipartisan support that aims to enhance the environmental, economic, and equity benefits of California's leading EV incentive program.

Paid Internship for College Student - available now
Hey Jerry, this is Pete Christensen at Breathe California. We need to hire a student Intern ASAP for the fall semester working 15 to 20 hours per week on the Clean Cities program. Training will be provided. It is a paid internship by the way, and it starts next Tuesday September 3rd. We can extend the deadline for a week or so if needed, but no later than September 13th. We'd love to have a college student who is enrolled in a masters program or at least working on an undergrad degree (although they do not need to be currently enrolled). The internship would also include the winter and spring semesters. The student can work remotely most of the time, however we would like them to come into the San Jose office one day a week, hopefully on Wednesdays. There is a 3 week break between semesters that is unpaid and there is also one unpaid week during each semester. If you know of anyone who would be a good match for this opening, please contact Pete Christensen directly via email at petechris23@... Thanks, Pete

V2G Ongoing Discussion
Dave, thanks for this excellent article. Not mentioned were the circa-2011 University of Delaware proof-of-concept demonstrations using the BMW Mini-e which utilized the AC Propulsion technology. https://www1.udel.edu/udaily/2013/may/vehicles-grid-050213.html There is so much more benefit to accessing the energy available in an EV's huge battery pack than the relatively-small residential battery-backup systems presently available. The future has been here for many years - what is needed is collaboration amongst vehicle manufacturers, utilities, governments, etc., to establish and agree and implement hardware and protocol (ISO 15118?) so we can move ahead. A google search of V2G shows lots of activity, but I'm afraid that implementation will not occur in my lifetime. :-( JoeS

Fw: Problem with Tesla 3
Hello All Thank you for your reply about my problem with the backup camera on my Model 3 not working and causing the cruise control also to the work. Went to the Tesla Service yesterday and they diagnosed the problem to be the cable to the camera. I got a recall notice April of this year, but since I was not having any problem, I ignored it. Service is coming to my house Monday to replace the cable. Thanks again for your support and hope to see you all at the Ride and Drive at Lake Cunningham park. George

Fw: Problem with Tesla Model 3
4
Hello All For the last couple of days I have been having an intermittent problem with my Model 3. Sometimes when I start the car there is a warning message about the brake hold not working. Also, the backup camera and cruise control does not work. The next time I drive the car, everything works. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what is the fix? Thanks! George
