The average eMPG for the study works out to ~41.5 eMPG, which is like an average hybrid. If you want to reduce transportation emissions use public transit or eBikes when possible or drive a BEV, not a PHEV. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

The Trump administration’s racist, cruel, and illegal immigration agenda is making us all less safe.
The EMPG grant has been stopped again and is one of the single most important disaster funding sources for state and local governments.

Aos treze, dona Susan, professora de História da EMPG Alferes Tiradentes (curioso, né?), era danada.
Quando você descobriu que o Pedro Américo desenhou o mapa do Brasil com as partes do corpo de Tiradentes no quadro "Tiradentes Esquartejado" de 1893?

One I highlight is EMPG which helps build the capacity of state and local emergency management agencies. Among its many uses one of the most important is helping to pay for emergency management salaries across the country.

Id have to go look it up but that may be all they’re getting from the state. Many states are supplementing with EMPG and other federal funding

This is gonna piss *all* the states and locals off, especially when it comes to emergency management & HS grants. How does he think states & locals pay for their EM staff, or fund swat teams, or secure venues & communities against terrorist attacks? HSGP, EMPG, NSGP, & more.

Dr. Montano is so spot-on. Budgets are facing shortfalls even without this mishegas.
How many "one person shops" reliant on EMPG grants are now going to have someone without EM education or experience being a slash/EM at best, and more likely, have a vacant position/function and no Em support?

There continues to be a deep naivety among emergency management leaders about the existential threat to the EM profession.
Notable that they are all white.
Seems the "it won't happen to me because I do good work" sentiment is prevailing. Dumb. We JUST saw this w/ mets & NOAA/NWS.

How much could my school district save if they switched from diesel powered school buses to BEV buses? It works out to somewhere between $5,000 to $9,000 per vehicle or $265,000 to $522,000 per year depending on performance, fuel costs, and fleet size assuming 12,000 miles driven per year. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

I am going to the IAEM conference this month and I am going to be a fucking MENACE.
These fools have spent years trying to keep a couple of million dollars in EMPG funding all while doing literally nothing to stop the idiots who want to end ALL grant programs. Brilliant job, yall.

IMPORTANTLY: This all really depends on the timing and how agencies interpret this...
For example, I believe (correct if I'm wrong) EMPG has already been dispersed to states for this year. I would think that money is safe?
But how long will this "pause" last? Immense uncertainty.

This was not brand specific, so perhaps it is an indicator that WLTP is a very poor metric. But the efficiency values also indicate very poor eMPG values, so the vehicles are consuming much more fuel than anticipated.

A gasoline powered, Ford Transit Passenger van get ~15 MPG. In contrast, the Ford E-Transit Passenger van gets ~1.6 miles/kWh or ~54 eMPG. It costs around $10K more for the E-Transit with Passenger conversion than the gas Passenger Transit van. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

In addition, the Trump administration is threatening to do away with Emergency Management Performance Grants ( #EMPG). EMPG grants fund 60-75% of all emergency management staff positions in many offices around the US. Losing these grants would literally decimate emergency management offices in #CA.

When I say that eliminating FEMA could threaten our ~National~ Security this is a good scenario to think of...
In FEMA’s best case scenarios tens of thousands die, without federal coordination… idk, man.
The governors are not managing Cascadia. Please be serious.
