The CCR program is intended to kick
start EV charging infrastructure in
rural and disadvantaged communities
across Oregon.
The goal is to increase EV
infrastructure, while mutually
benefiting local communities with
increased visitors.
While customers are charging, they
often have time to site see and shop!

Aims to reduce the installation, maintenance, and purchasing costs of Level 2 EV charging
