Buckhead achieves EV charging milestone! 📢 We're proud to announce that our 'EVery Mile Campaign' has successfully brought public EV chargers within a quarter mile of nearly every resident within the Buckhead CID boundary. Launched in 2018, this campaign aimed to make electric vehicle charging accessible and convenient for all Buckhead residents. Through the combined efforts of our community partners, we've achieved this important milestone. By driving electric vehicles, Buckhead residents are saving $1,500 annually and reducing carbon emissions by 8,026 pounds. This is equivalent to recycling 157 trash bags or growing 60 trees for 10 years. The 'EVery Mile Campaign' is a crucial part of our broader sustainability goals. Together, we're making a significant difference, one mile at a time. #EV #sustainability #cleanenergy #livablebuckhead
