Description

In this innovative talk, we learn about the latest and the future of electric vehicles with expert Ebo Entsuah, a Policy Principal at Advanced Energy Economy (AEE). Florida is the third most populous state in the nation with over 21 million residents and growing. What are the current incentives and rebates available to purchase an EV and how is that different from the Federal Tax Credit. The technology has well advanced with some batteries even being interchangeable, making it an advantage in saving both gas and power. There are a number of charging stations throughout state and will continue to rise with more consumers making the shift. It is estimated that the carmakers will have about 81 models by 2025 for the public to own an EV. Coming soon: a Ford model called "Lightning" will have a generator, as part of the vehicle's features—a handy one for those living in states with recurring hurricanes and storms. While we may not be seeing flying cars just yet, this is an alternative for the environment and consumer budgets.  

Ebo Reuel Isaac Entsuah is a Policy Principal at Advanced Energy Economy (AEE), where he leads AEE’s legislative and regulatory engagement in Florida and supports legislative and regulatory engagement in Virginia as well. Ebo is the youngest African American ever elected to Clermont’s City Council.
