I work on the LAAFB about 3 days a week. In 2008, they installed solar panels on the commissary, last year they installed solar panels in the parking lot. See story below.

Now, LAAFB plans to go 100% PEV. Of course, LAAFB is small, it only includes 40 vehicles, but it'll be first gov't facility to go 100% electric and will be used as a test site for other facilities. Hopefully I'll be able to use some of the EVSE's at the site. Right now, my commute to and from work, if I also visit the base, gets me home on Low Battery, it would be nice to top off for an hour or two while on base.

All Air Force-owned and leased general purpose fleet vehicles on the base will be replaced with EVs. There are approximately 40 eligible vehicles, ranging from passenger sedans to two-ton trucks and shuttle buses. Vehicles used for force protection, tactical and emergency response vehicles are exempt.
The replacement PEVs include fully-electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and extended range electric vehicles.
