Volunteer Spotlight
Tom Summers (Abuelo Tom)
Since EVLC’s formation in 2019, Tom, or “Abuelo Tom” as he’s known around the learning center, has been a valued volunteer. Tom chose to devote time to EVLC because of two things: he saw the need and he saw the opportunity for EV education. Following a varied career and passion for travel, he has always been a “car guy”, and he maintained an interest in electrification of VW’s and cars in general.
In his free time, he continues to work on environmental initiatives, such as San Diego Community Power, with his goal of making energy sustainable and accessible to the public. He loves the people at EVLC and the tight-knit family culture and cohesion that we have here. An interesting fact about Tom is that he was a tugboat engineer, a ship’s engineer, and has traveled through the Panama Canal 46 times.
