The EV Club of Connecticut is hosting a Zoom presentation on May 19th, 7PM from Stepwise Electric. Stepwise has an IES docket item that has been approved by PURA for a pilot. It is a smart load management device that would enable someone to install a 240 volt EV charger if they have constrained electrical service or an old panel. It uses real time data to dynamically throttle charging if the overall household load temporarily exceeds what the panel can support. This avoids the expensive option(s) of increasing electric service or upgrading the panel.

The pilot will enable 100 residents to have the cost of the device and installation covered if they live in Eversource CT or territory. It is a bit of needle-threading to find people who are in the market for an EV charger (or would like to upgrade to a more powerful charger)) and have these kinds of constraints. According to EnergySage, this happens in about 20% of cases.

⚠️ You shouldn’t have to worry that your shampoo, cookware, or drinking water might harm your health. ☣️

That’s why we were so concerned when the chemical industry started pressuring Congress to roll back protections on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) — a bedrock chemical safety law which empowers the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to stop companies from putting dangerous chemicals into everyday products.

A hearing has been scheduled in the House today to discuss gutting this vital chemical safety law at the expense of our safety. If this bill is successful, it would become much harder — and in some instances impossible — for EPA to require that chemicals are tested for safety.

That’s why we must show Congress how important it is to keep these protections intact! Can you send a message to your representatives expressing how important it is to defend these safety protections now? We've made taking action easy for you: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-congress-from-gutting-chemical-safety-laws/

🗣️ Tell Congress to put public health and safety before the profits of chemical companies!
