The document outlines Oregon's strategy for transportation electrification, which includes understanding infrastructure needs, securing funding, and supporting deployment of electric vehicle charging stations. Key steps are to estimate charging demand, prioritize locations, obtain $100 million in funding including $65 million over 5 years from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, and leverage additional funds and partnerships. Support involves providing planning tools and guidance to help deploy a statewide network of EV charging stations.

Public sector roles in
transportation electrification
• Help achieve climate goals.
• Ensure access for everyone.
• Share data and understand
needs.
• Create alignment.

4. Highlight charging infrastructure needs for
light duty ZEVs to support state goals
Develop a vision of charging needed and
identify clear actions, roles, and responsibilities.
Provide a near-term and long term overview of the
charging infrastructure needs for all modes.
Assess the unique needs to support transportation
electrification in all geographies and communities.
ID Needs and Priorities

5. Take Action
Secure Funding
ODOTs $100M commitment

6. Funding - Oregon (NEVI) Program
$65
million
over 5
years for
fast
charging

7. Leveraging the NEVI
Program 350 350
NEVI focuses on charging light
vehicles
BUT…Opportunities Oregon will
pursue to leverage include:
• Add low-voltage chargers for
e-bikes.
• Pull-through design for freight
trucks and other MHD vehicles.
• Future proofing with higher
wattage chargers for MHD
vehicles.

8. Additional Funding
Oregon’s New Community Charging Rebates program
Targets EV charging in communities throughout Oregon
$8 million to support the installation of Level 2 EV charging stations at strategic locations,
particularly multi-family housing and public parking sites.
Timeline
Funding released in rounds. First round to launch in June 2023.
Investments reimbursed through rebates
$4,250 - $5,500 per plug, up to 75% of eligible costs.
Centers equity
70% of funds are reserved for projects in disadvantaged and rural communities. Companion
outreach and education program will focus efforts in these priority communities.

9. Pursue Federal Grants
• E.g. $2.5 billion in
IIJA Discretionary
Funding
Additional
Funding

10. Take Action – Support
Planning Support Tools
- TEINA Dashboard (User-friendly Excel Model.)
- Infrastructure Planning Tool (Interactive GIS
Map.)
Information & Guidance
- EV charging basics.
- Best practices in design.
- Supportive policies and programs.
Resources
- Cost estimates.
- Funding sources.
Created a “One Stop Shop” to support EV charging deployment in
Oregon
