Hi BRNCDA, may the 4th be with you.
Thank you
I’m honored to be with you all today and hope I can add some value.
About me
My bio: Life-long car/truck guy who’s dad’s first job was at Hub Ford in Atlanta. I’ve spent 25 years designing schools and educational tech, 15 years building electric motorcycles, & 8 years driving/hacking electric cars.
I’m an active angel investor in EV related stuff, including the largest used EV battery power plant in the US, a medium-duty EV truck conversion co, and a rural charging company.
I also teach classes for drivers on going electric when it makes sense for them. I’ve just started teaching classes and advising dealers, general contractors and electricians on related topics.

About Clean Fuels Louisiana
I just took over the New Orleans Drive Electric chapter, so I’m covering for the Clean Fuels Louisiana team. Ann’s running an impressive team and she’s on top of her game. She should be in your contacts.
Ann Vail | Executive Director | Louisiana Clean Fuels | 225-281-7353 | louisianacleanfuels.org
Here are Ann’s key bullet points for today:
- You DO NOT have to ever pay LCF or join to get help.
- DriveElectricLA.org: Getting listed for our Dealership program is free. It costs X (I’m checking) to get a logo: www.driveelectricla.org/find-an-ev-dealer
- Dealership program - we want to help you sell cars and navigate all the funding that is (or isn't) available. There are NO State incentives for EVs or chargers; there is federal $.
- We post updates on funding, grants and incentives on our LCF website. We send out notices when there is a new opportunity. Have them sign up for the newsletter on the LCF website or give us their cards and we will sign them up.
