Meet Mark Curtis, Just A Normal Climate Warrior & Defender Of Democracy
Meet Mark Curtis. Mark is a normal guy, living the American dream. He married his college sweetheart, Becky, who he met at a keg party as a freshman at Michigan State. He and Becky started a company in custom software and consulting, and ran the company for 30 years before retiring recently.
Mark is a climate warrior. He started driving an EV 12 years ago, a Nissan Leaf with 75 miles of range, and has driven electric exclusively since then. He now drives a 2016 Tesla Model S, which has 110,000 miles on it. According to Mark, “I am fortunate to have free supercharging for the life of that car and take advantage of that for Tesla Road trips. In April we enjoyed a 3,000 mile road trip to hike in the National Parks in Utah .
The office building, with free EV charging for employees, which resulted in a lot of employees buying EVs! Mark and Becky owned a 7,000 square foot office building for 16 years, selling it recently. They used the office to promote clean energy and electric vehicles. The office building is 100% electric. In early 2012, Mark and Becky added an 8.4 kW solar array to the roof which greatly reduced their monthly electricity bills, leading to an 8 year payback period. According to Mark, “It has been ‘free solar electricity’ since 2020.
Mark said, “Over a lunch with my team in late 2011, I went to the white board and diagrammed the cost advantages of owning an electric car. I offered to add car chargers to our building and provide free electricity to the employees. Over the next few years, a dozen of the team members bought or leased electric cars! We added 4 Clipper Creek level 2 chargers, which are still in use.
