The Green Business Alliance is a diverse group with members providing everything from medical and financial services to catering, legal aid and rock band representation, but two founding members come from surprising sectors.
Liza Borches is with Carter Myers Automotive. “We have installed solar on four of our dealerships, she says. We were the first dealership to be fully powered by the sun in the state.”
They recycle waste oil and filters, and expect to be selling many more electric cars.
“I think it’s 91 new EVs that are coming in the next two years,” Borches says.
Gordon Sutton is preparing for that change. He’s president of Tiger Fuel, where demand for gasoline is flat. “A lot of that’s being driven by the pandemic, he says, but especially in the Charlottesville community you see a lot of EVs, and so we’re starting to install EV chargers.”

Charlottesville, Albemarle County officials support climate change legislation
Charlottesville, Albemarle County officials support climate change legislation By Max Marcilla | January 25, 2021 at 9:34 PM EST - Updated January 25 at 10:59 PM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A new bill moving forward in the Virginia General Assembly is working to battle climate change, and it has lots of support across the Commonwealth, including in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
Several cities and counties in Virginia, representing over a million residents, have signed a letter from the Community Climate Collaborative urging the passing of HB1965.
The bill would require a small percentage of each car manufacturerâs sales be electric or hybrid vehicles. Advocates say that small percentage would have a large impact.
