The Oregon Department of Transportation has chosen a California company to install and maintain a series of electric vehicle charging stations in the northwest portion of the State. Art James is with ODOT: “This particular project is one of three going on concurrently in Oregon. And the latest announcement is about the funding we got comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation.” The $2million grant will build 22 charging stations within the next year that will spread up and down the Oregon coast and out into the gorge. The other two projects cover the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon.
