Wharfie,
Menlo Park was one of the first California cities to enact "reach codes" that extended beyond state requirements for buildings to essentially eliminate gas use in new buildings.
The funny thing about Menlo Park and nearby Palo Alto is that most of the single family residences there are old. I believe about 25% of the residents there are Prop 13 holdovers who could sell their properties at absurd prices but choose to remain because, you know, home is home.

Both cities are nowhere near "zero carbon." New construction makes up only a small fraction of the buildings there.

And yes, it's still a complete PITA (Pain In The Brandon) to find a working EV charger there ...
