Gustavus, Alaska: The Town That Might Beat Juneau To All-EV’s
To see where his car gets its power, Jim Macovjak took a walk. The longtime Gustavus resident and former mayor hiked three miles and about 700 vertical feet to Falls Creek, the stream that powers his community’s hydroelectric plant. Standing above the dam, he described the connection plainly to KTOO: “You know, looking at the water above the dam here, and realizing that’s what is powering my car right now.” Macovjak co-owns an electric car, and he belongs to a small group of residents who keep watch over the community’s hydropower. He told the station they are known around town as “the power rangers.”
