Juandiego Wade’s Day in the LEAF

Charlottesville City School Board Member, Albemarle County Schools Career Counselor, and winner of the Chamber of Commerce’s 2019 Paul Goodloe McIntire Citizenship Award, Juandiego Wade got behind the wheel of our all-electric CMA’s Colonial Nissan Leaf last week!

With a professional background in transportation planning, Juandiego understands the important role transportation plays in addressing our climate emissions: “A big part of what we do on a daily basis is driving… If you have to drive because transit is not an option—biking is not an option, you have to drive — then I think the Leaf or something like that is an excellent option.”

For his “day in the Leaf” he drove it to meetings at the County and shared it with his colleagues on lunch break as well as his wife, Sandy. Watch the video of our interview with Juandiego to hear more about his experience #DrivingClimateSolutions.
