    Child of '60s, now in her 60s, on why we should go all in on EVs despite Elon - Westwood

    Zan Dubin and I met in Frogtown beside the LA River and quickly dove into her long history of activism, journalism, and life hear in LA. Born Alexandra, she was nicknamed after a character from The Little Foxes. Zan arriving in Westwood in 1966 at age nine — and she’s remained committed to both the city and the causes close to her heart ever since. Her dedication to electric vehicles began in 2002, when she and her then-husband bought a Toyota RAV4 EV. They became active in saving leased EVs from being crushed, founding Plug In America. “We were able to save about 800 cars that would have been crushed,” she said, and her activism hasn’t stopped. Wearing a T-shirt that reads “Question Internal Combustion,” she embodies a lifetime of environmental commitment. But what of the posterboy of modern EV vehicles: The notorious Elon Musk? “I abhor Elon,” she said plainly. “I’m really sad and angry at everything that he’s doing. However, I think an even greater and more imminent threat is climate change.” While she criticizes Musk’s politics and behavior, she praises Tesla’s engineering and the ever-growing charging network’s reach.

Instead they blamed the suspect they were chasing. Then they tried to lowball the family by offering them $500k to make it all go away. But right before the case was going to go to trial, the city got serious and when they offered a record $9.5 million settlement, the Corados reluctantly agreed. But the pain has not gone away. Albert explains what they went through and what's next for he and his father.
