Thanks to Rep. Julia Brownley, Ventura County today received a $12 million federal electrifcation grant, with $7 million of that heading to Thousand Oaks.
The grant will fund EV charging stations, battery storage, related infrastructure, and job training.
This is a win-win-win-win:
It’s good for our climate
It’s good for the growing number of EV users
It’s good for public safety (essential city services need power during emergencies)
It’s good for our economy, creating green jobs
This was a team effort, with many on city staff taking part, along with partners across the county. Kudos all! This will improve people’s lives.
