The document provides information about electric vehicles (EVs) and charging. It summarizes that Clackamas County is working on a climate action plan and hosting webinars on going solar. It also notes that Estacada, Oregon has two public EV charging stations. Forth is then introduced as a nonprofit that advocates for electric mobility. The rest of the document discusses types of EVs, charging levels and infrastructure, benefits of EVs like cost savings and the environment, available incentives, and used EV options.

6. Types of Electric Vehicles
Forth 6
Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (HEV)
Plug-In Electric Vehicle (EV)
Plug-In Hybrid Electric
(PHEV)
Battery Electric
Vehicle (BEV)
Sources of
Energy
Example Toyota Prius
Chevy Volt, Honda Clarity
Plug-In Hybrid, Chrysler
Pacifica PHEV
Nissan Leaf, Chevy
Bolt, Tesla Model S

7. Still Requires Gas
Regular Hybrid vs PHEV
Forth 7
Can Pump Gas or Plug in
The battery is charged through regenerative
braking and by the vehicles alternator and
not through charging
The battery is much larger for PHEV’s 12 kWh for the
vehicle above and can be charged through regenerative
braking or by plugging the vehicle in

8. Electric Vehicle Types
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV):
• 100% electric, completely battery powered
• Plug-in to recharge
• Ex: Chevy Bolt EV, VW e-Golf, BMW i3, Tesla Model 3
(pictured) and all other Tesla models, Hyundai Kona
EV
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV):
• PHEVs have an “Electric only” mode or default to
driving just on electricity when fully charged
• Both electric and gasoline powered
• Varying sizes of battery packs
• Plug-in to recharge battery, fill tank when needed
• Ex: RAV4 Prime (pictured), Kia Niro PHEV, Honda
Clarity PHEV, Chevy Volt, Hyundai Ioniq PHEV

10. Electric Vehicle Charging
Level 1
• Miles gained per
hour of charge: 3-5
• Great for overnight
charging
• Best for plug-in
hybrids or folks with
short commutes
(<50 miles per day)
120 Volt Outlet Standard Port

11. Electric Vehicle Charging
Level 2
• Miles gained per
hour of charge: 12-50
• Good for public
chargers, homes,
apartments, or
workplace.
240 Volt Outlet
(dryer plug)
Standard Port

12. Electric Vehicle Charging
Level 3 -
DC Fast Charging
• Allows for longer trips
with shorter stops
• 80% charge in 20-40
minutes
• Three plug shapes:
• CCS/SAE
• CHADeMO
• Tesla
CCS/SAE
American/European
CHAdeMO

20. Electric Vehicles are Cheaper to
Maintain than Gasoline Vehicles
EVs cost less than half as
much to operate as gas-
powered cars:
• EV owners on average save $800
per year in maintenance costs
compared to gasoline vehicles
• Vastly reduced maintenance and
no oil changes
• Regenerative braking means
reduced brake use
