One thing I think about a lot with electrification is cost. If people/govs get overcharged then it will hold it up, maybe even stop it. I know many of the buildings listed here are pretty big, but $1.9M for just 10 buildings is a LOT. www.ithacajournal.com/story/news/2...
Ithaca backs electric projects, looks to move on from fossil fuel
Initiatives of Ithaca's Sustainability and Climate Justice Comittee, Ithaca Green New Deal prompts $1.9 million for building decarbonization upgrades.
Like, when my own municipality gets a $15k quote for a single L2 EV charger I question it. A regular 120V outlet with a waterproof lockbox to hold an L1 charger should be much cheaper, especially if we pull it off our street light circuits (which have capacity after LED upgrades).
