Why wasn’t there a legislator on the panel? When I talk with people curious about my solar panel powered EV, they are equally impressed by the technology and the Mayor’s six free parking/charging stations in the city. Why aren’t there more free parking spaces for EVs on Salt Lake Streets? When the EV is such an obvious solution to the air pollution, why isn’t it more in the news and comments on our air? Are we at particulate danger in our cars? Are diesel fuels cleaner than gasoline? Is there a difference in the dangerous particulates from morning to evening?
