Smarter Charging, Thanks to UC San Diego! 🚙🔌 The next time you plug in your electric car, you might already be benefiting from UC San Diego research. Researchers here discovered that most drivers charge at night — when electricity often comes from fossil fuels — and found ways to incentivize drivers to shift charging to daytime hours, when solar energy is plentiful. Their work is shaping cleaner, cheaper workplace charging across California — showing how small changes can make a big impact for people and the planet.  Link in the comments to learn more about UC San Diego’s impact on building a more resilient planet 🔗 #UCSanDiego #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateInnovation #ElectricVehicles #EVCharging #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #ClimateSolutions #EV
