WHEREAS, the City of Oakland has been on the forefront of climate policy for decades; and
WHEREAS, the transportation sector is responsible for more than half of California’s carbon pollution, 80 percent of smog-forming pollution, and 95 percent of toxic diesel emission; and
WHEREAS, Executive Order N-79-20 set the goal that mandates all new cars sold in California to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035 as a way to mitigate climate change; and WHEREAS, for long excursions around the state, electric vehicle (EV) owners need to rely on public chargers; and
WHEREAS, EV chargers are divided into three categories: Level 1, Level 2 and direct current (DC) fast chargers; and
WHEREAS, DC fast charges specifically are split among three designs requiring drivers not only find a charger, but also verify that it is the correct type; and WHEREAS, many drivers cite “range anxiety” as a main hesitancy in trading in their gas powered vehicles for an EV; and
WHEREAS, AB 591 builds out EV charging infrastructure by requiring all EV charging stations (excluding private residencies) include universal connectors as well as be open to the public; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED: That the City of Oakland endorses Assembly Bill 591 and urge the California State Legislature and Governor Gavin Newsom to support its enactment into law; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: That the City Council directs the City Administrator or his designee to immediately distribute this Resolution upon its adoption to Governor Gavin Newsom and Assemblymember Gabriel.
