Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Why Electric Vehicles?
Transportation represents about 60% of Mountain View's community-wide greenhouse gas emissions, by far the largest source of our community's GHG emissions. Electric vehicles are an important part of reducing those emissions and transitioning to cleaner forms of transportation.
