BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 16.24 1.12 Welcome<space>everybody.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 17.36 1.12 My<space>name's<space>James<space>Booth.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 18.48 2.16 I'm<space>a<space>volunteer<space>with<space>Belmont<space>Drives<space>Electric.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 20.64 4.88 I'm<space>also<space>a<space>member<space>of<space>the<space>Belmont<space>Energy<space>Committee,<space>one<space>of<space>the<space>partners<space>in<space>Belmont<space>Drives<space>Electric.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 25.76 9.28 So<space>we're<space>going<space>to<space>have<space>a<space>information<space>session<space>first<space>and<space>then<space>the<space>ride<space>and<space>drive<space>event<space>that<space>test<space>drives<space>various<space>vehicles<space>out<space>there.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 35.92 1.04 Next<space>slide.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 37.28 9.04 So<space>to<space>give<space>just<space>a<space>quick<space>overview<space>of<space>what<space>we'll<space>talk<space>about,<space>tell<space>you<space>a<space>little<space>about<space>what<space>Belmont<space>Drives<space>Electric<space>is,<space>it's<space>community-based<space>initiative.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 47.12 8.88 Talk<space>about<space>what<space>are<space>some<space>of<space>the<space>reasons<space>for<space>why<space>it<space>makes<space>sense<space>to<space>drive<space>electric,<space>and<space>particularly<space>how<space>it's<space>good<space>for<space>the<space>environment,<space>but<space>it's<space>also<space>good<space>for<space>your<space>wallet.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 56.08 2.32 It's<space>very<space>affordable<space>to<space>do<space>right<space>now.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 59.12 13.68 Then<space>we'll<space>hear<space>from<space>Klaus<space>and<space>Addie,<space>two<space>Belmont<space>residents<space>who<space>were<space>very<space>happy<space>driving<space>electric<space>about<space>their<space>experience<space>and<space>try<space>to<space>answer<space>some<space>of<space>the<space>questions<space>you<space>might<space>have<space>around<space>things<space>like,<space>what<space>are<space>your<space>options<space>for<space>charging<space>electric<space>vehicle?
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 72.88 6.80 And<space>counter<space>some<space>popular<space>misconceptions<space>of<space>things<space>you<space>might<space>have<space>heard<space>and<space>say<space>how<space>why<space>they<space>they<space>love<space>driving<space>electric.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 80.16 2.24 And<space>answer<space>any<space>questions<space>that<space>you<space>have.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 82.72 5.60 So,<space>so<space>to<space>start<space>off,<space>Belmont<space>Drives<space>Electric<space>is<space>a<space>community<space>program<space>for<space>Belmont<space>residents.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 88.32 12.48 It's<space>sponsored<space>by<space>Belmont<space>Light,<space>the<space>Belmont<space>Energy<space>Committee,<space>Sustainable<space>Belmont,<space>and<space>just<space>a<space>number<space>of<space>electric<space>vehicle<space>enthusiasts<space>here<space>in<space>Belmont,<space>who<space>volunteering<space>their<space>time<space>to<space>the<space>program.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 101.04 3.76 So<space>the<space>goal<space>of<space>Belmont<space>Drives<space>Electric<space>is-<space>there<space>are<space>two<space>goals.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 104.88 8.72 One<space>is<space>to<space>promote<space>the<space>adoption<space>of<space>electric<space>vehicles<space>in<space>town,<space>and<space>also<space>to<space>encourage<space>owners<space>of<space>electric<space>vehicles<space>to<space>charge<space>them-<space>to<space>charge<space>smart.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 113.60 4.96 Charge<space>them<space>at<space>times<space>of<space>day<space>that<space>work<space>well<space>for<space>everybody.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 119.12 20.40 And<space>what<space>Belmont<space>Drives<space>Electric<space>is<space>doing,<space>is<space>providing<space>information<space>through<space>events<space>like<space>this<space>and<space>connecting<space>people<space>with<space>deals<space>at<space>dealerships<space>and<space>test<space>drives<space>to<space>help<space>make<space>the<space>decision<space>of<space>how<space>you<space>can<space>get<space>behind<space>the<space>wheel<space>of<space>an<space>electric<space>vehicle.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 140.24 12.08 So<space>the<space>first<space>reason<space>why<space>the<space>Belmont<space>Energy<space>Committee<space>became<space>interested<space>in<space>electric<space>vehicles<space>is<space>the<space>environmental<space>benefits<space>that<space>are<space>associated<space>with<space>driving<space>electric.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 153.04 9.04 So<space>to<space>put<space>this<space>in<space>context,<space>Belmont<space>has<space>a<space>climate<space>action<space>plan<space>for<space>trying<space>to<space>reduce<space>our<space>emissions<space>of<space>the<space>greenhouse<space>gases<space>that<space>drive<space>climate<space>change.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 162.16 5.60 And<space>this<space>was<space>adopted<space>several<space>years<space>ago<space>with<space>a<space>goal<space>of<space>reducing<space>emissions,<space>80%<space>by<space>2050.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 168.48 6.96 We<space>recently<space>looked<space>at<space>how<space>we've<space>been<space>doing<space>on<space>this,<space>over<space>the<space>last<space>seven<space>years<space>or<space>so,<space>from<space>2007<space>to<space>2014.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 175.52 6.48 And<space>we're<space>moving<space>in<space>the<space>right<space>direction,<space>but<space>not<space>nearly<space>fast<space>enough<space>to<space>the<space>goal<space>of<space>an<space>80%<space>reduction.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 182.16 7.84 So<space>we<space>need<space>to<space>be<space>doing<space>more<space>to<space>meet<space>the<space>goals<space>that<space>as<space>a<space>town<space>we've<space>set<space>ourselves,<space>in<space>terms<space>of<space>reducing<space>our<space>carbon<space>emissions.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 190.72 7.44 And<space>so<space>when<space>we<space>looked<space>at<space>where<space>Belmont's<space>carbon<space>emissions<space>come<space>from,<space>it's<space>clear<space>that<space>vehicles<space>are<space>a<space>big<space>part<space>of<space>the<space>story.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 198.32 9.12 So<space>for<space>the<space>town<space>as<space>a<space>whole,<space>if<space>we<space>look<space>at<space>what<space>the<space>different<space>sources<space>of<space>CO2<space>emissions<space>are,<space>vehicles<space>count<space>for<space>more<space>than<space>a<space>third<space>of<space>emissions.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 207.52 5.28 And<space>if<space>you<space>just<space>look<space>at<space>the<space>residential<space>sector,<space>at<space>people's<space>households,<space>there<space>it's<space>almost<space>half<space>of<space>emissions.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 212.88 8.08 So<space>for<space>many<space>households,<space>your<space>driving<space>of<space>your<space>vehicle<space>or<space>vehicles<space>accounts<space>for<space>more<space>than<space>half<space>of<space>your<space>total<space>carbon<space>footprint.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 221.12 1.92 So<space>there's<space>clearly,<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>potential.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 223.20 5.12 We<space>need<space>to<space>address<space>the<space>transportation<space>sector<space>to<space>make<space>a<space>dent<space>in<space>our<space>carbon<space>output.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 228.88 11.92 And<space>this<space>is<space>where<space>electric<space>vehicles<space>become,<space>you<space>know,<space>very<space>attractive<space>to<space>think<space>about,<space>because<space>the<space>emissions<space>associated<space>with<space>driving<space>an<space>electric<space>vehicle<space>are<space>much<space>lower<space>than<space>for<space>a<space>comparable<space>gasoline<space>powered<space>vehicle.

BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 243.04 10.32 So<space>this<space>chart<space>shows<space>for<space>a<space>sort<space>of<space>standard,<space>new,<space>mid-sized<space>car<space>you're<space>producing<space>about<space>400<space>or<space>so<space>grams<space>of<space>CO2<space>per<space>mile<space>driven.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 253.76 7.44 Whereas<space>a<space>battery<space>electric<space>car<space>driving<space>solely<space>on<space>battery<space>is<space>associated<space>with<space>less<space>than<space>half<space>that<space>amount<space>of<space>emissions.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 261.20 6.88 And<space>if<space>you<space>look<space>at<space>the<space>emissions<space>that<space>are<space>caused<space>by<space>the<space>producing<space>the<space>electricity<space>that<space>you<space>use<space>to<space>drive,<space>to<space>charge<space>the<space>car.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 268.16 12.16 And<space>then<space>there<space>are<space>plug-in<space>hybrid<space>electric<space>vehicles,<space>which<space>have<space>both<space>a<space>gas<space>motor<space>and,<space>and<space>can<space>be<space>plugged<space>in<space>and<space>driven<space>on<space>electric<space>and<space>those<space>fall<space>somewhere<space>in<space>between,<space>depending<space>on<space>how<space>you<space>drive<space>them.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 280.40 3.60 How<space>much<space>of<space>the<space>time<space>you're<space>driving<space>in<space>electric<space>mode.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 285.20 12.64 So<space>if<space>we<space>compare<space>the<space>impact<space>of<space>switching<space>your<space>driving,<space>from<space>gasoline<space>to<space>electricity,<space>it<space>becomes<space>one<space>of<space>the<space>biggest<space>single<space>things<space>you<space>can<space>do,<space>as<space>a<space>household,<space>to<space>reduce<space>your<space>carbon<space>footprint.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 297.92 8.56 So<space>depending<space>on<space>what<space>car<space>you're<space>switching<space>from,<space>you<space>can<space>be<space>seeing<space>a<space>reduction<space>of<space>two<space>or<space>three<space>tons<space>a<space>year<space>of<space>CO2<space>emissions.

BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 319.52 10.88 So<space>again,<space>it'll<space>depend<space>on<space>the<space>household,<space>but<space>for<space>many<space>households<space>simply<space>changing<space>what<space>vehicle<space>you're<space>driving<space>can<space>be<space>the<space>single<space>biggest<space>carbon<space>reduction<space>step<space>you<space>can<space>take.

BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 356.56 1.28 There's<space>some<space>other<space>benefits.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 358.00 3.44 There's<space>no<space>local<space>air<space>pollution<space>from<space>tailpipe<space>emissions.

BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 365.44 2.16 So<space>you<space>have<space>local<space>improved<space>air<space>quality.

BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 396.48 3.84 So<space>that's<space>part<space>of<space>why<space>there's<space>such<space>a<space>big<space>impact<space>from,<space>from<space>going<space>electric.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 400.80 11.60 But<space>in<space>the<space>bigger<space>picture,<space>we<space>think<space>of,<space>people<space>think<space>of<space>large<space>scale,<space>moving<space>to<space>driving<space>electric<space>is<space>going<space>to<space>be<space>an<space>important<space>part<space>of<space>bringing<space>more<space>renewable<space>energy<space>onto<space>the<space>grid.

BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 1202.24 5.28 And<space>right<space>now<space>the,<space>the<space>equivalent<space>cost<space>of<space>a<space>gallon<space>of<space>gas<space>is<space>like<space>$1.50.
BelmontDrivesElectric_0417-CL19 1 1207.52 5.84 But<space>with<space>the<space>nighttime<space>rates,<space>it'll<space>be<space>the<space>equivalent<space>of<space>getting<space>70<space>cents<space>gallon,<space>70<space>cent<space>gas.
