"Edwin Lindo used to see new electric vehicle chargers as a sign he was about
to be priced out of his neighborhood. “Communities who have been historically
gentrified, historically marginalized,” he says, “we don’t typically get
opportunities to access beneficial technologies.”
Two EV chargers are now in front of Estelita’s Library, the Seattle community
library and bookstore Lindo cofounded. One can be used by anyone, the other is
reserved for a rentable wheelchair-accessible EV owned by the electric
car-share cooperative ZEV that costs $8 per hour to use.
The ZEV EV is used by locals for church, hospital visits and field trips.
Sometimes, Lindo drives the car around and gives a ride to someone carrying too
many groceries."
