A conversation with Jared Draper of the Toole Design Group
Building cities that don’t require citizens to own a car to prosper is arguably the greatest climate positive action we could do. The trouble is, there are a ton of complex physical, social, economic, and political systems to navigate to take that action. To take a nibble off of the elephant, I joined a focus group last year in my town of Cary, North Carolina that continues to work on developing a plan for on-street bike infrastructure. Through that group, I met Jared Draper of the Toole Design Group. I caught up with him to chat about how their flavor of consulting works, what impact it is having, and why he got into this gig in the first place.

A Conversation with Sajith Kumar, CEO of Chargerzilla
In this episode of the Climate Innovators Interview Series, I spoke to Chargerzilla CEO Sajith Kumar. Chargerzilla presents a new business model for EV charging stations in which charger owners, from homeowners to business owners, can make their stations available at specific times of day and set their own pricing. They also incorporate a review-style feedback system. I thought this was a clever and fresh perspective on improving charger reliability and incentivizing the build-out of the charging network.
