Child of '60s, now in her 60s, on why we should go all in on EVs despite Elon - Westwood
Zan Dubin and I met in Frogtown beside the LA River and quickly dove into her long history of activism, journalism, and life hear in LA. Born Alexandra, she was nicknamed after a character from The Little Foxes.
Zan arriving in Westwood in 1966 at age nine — and she’s remained committed to both the city and the causes close to her heart ever since.
Her dedication to electric vehicles began in 2002, when she and her then-husband bought a Toyota RAV4 EV. They became active in saving leased EVs from being crushed, founding Plug In America (https://pluginamerica.org/team_member/zan-dubin-scott/).
“We were able to save about 800 cars that would have been crushed,” she said, and her activism hasn’t stopped. Wearing a T-shirt that reads “Question Internal Combustion,” she embodies a lifetime of environmental commitment.
But what of the posterboy of modern EV vehicles: The notorious Elon Musk?
“I abhor Elon,” she said plainly. “I’m really sad and angry at everything that he’s doing. However, I think an even greater and more imminent threat is climate change.” While she criticizes Musk’s politics and behavior, she praises Tesla’s engineering and the ever-growing charging network’s reach.

Palisades fire survivor: Peter Viles on his harrowing escape
Peter Viles is a brilliant journalist, terrific family man, and the next door neighbor you could only dream for. After years of renting, he and his wife moved from Mar Vista to a townhome in the Palisades and thanks to a robust real estate market were able to sell that home for a dream house up the hill. Sadly when the fires hit in January it blazed through his neighborhood destroying many of the homes on his block, but someone up there likes Pete and his family and his home was spared. Unfortunately, like lots of families in Altadena and the Palisades, the smoke damage was so intense, it's unsafe for he and his family to stay there and they were forced to rent a home in the South Bay for a year. We'll talk about his escape, how his kids are adjusting to their new life, and what life was like for him before the blaze.
