How will we power our future? Can we create a healthy and clean economy?

Climate One at the Commonwealth Club is at the forefront of the global debate about energy, economy, and the environment.

Bringing together the brightest and most provocative leaders of our time,

Climate One is the place where big ideas get heard.

With thoughtful and insightful discussions on policy, business, science, and culture,

Climate One founder Greg Dalton gets to the heart of the matter. It's our future. It's time to come together.

Welcome to Climate One at the Commonwealth Club. I'm Greg Dalton. Most major automakers are now selling or leasing cars that run on electricity all or part of the time. Electrified and

hybrid vehicles account for about 3 to 4 percent of new U.S. car sales, a figure that goes

up and down with gasoline prices. Today we'll talk with owners of the new plug-in cars about

their lives as early adopters. We'll discuss their new wheels, how they deal with range anxiety,

and what's it like living in the transportation frontier.

We'll also get into the complicated world of charging electric vehicles at home

and public locations such as garages, offices, and corporate retail centers.

Along the way, we'll include questions from our live audience here at the Commonwealth

Club in San Francisco.

Our guests are three EV owners who have deep knowledge about the transition from petroleum

to electricity to power our personal mobility.

John Cal was founder of EV charging pro as a consultancy and an owner of a BMW ActiveE.

Andrea Kisick is Senior Science Editor at KQED and the proud owner of a Nissan Leaf.

Felix Kramer is founder of Cal Cars and is soon to be launched a website,

DrivingElectric.org, an owner of a Chevy Volt and a Nissan Leaf.

Please welcome them to Climate 1.
