Oregon’s EV Strength

An electric vehicle movement is afoot in Oregon.  Oregon is paving the way for EVs to gain momentum, garnering national and international recognition from automakers as a launch market for newly developed electric cars coming to market in 2011 and beyond, as well as attracting millions of dollars in federal monies to build out EV charging infrastructure.

Oregon has a strong green ethic, a very informed and motivated marketplace, visionary policymakers, favorable policies, and creative local companies.

Clean transportation is poised to take root and grow in Oregon. We are home to dozens of businesses working on transportation electrification and vehicle efficiency technologies, collaborating closely with universities, utilities and other stakeholders. Together, we are creating a thriving “ecosystem” for electric vehicles.
