PGE and Partners Submit Transportation Electrification Support Letter to Federal Delegation
Portland General Electric led an effort last week to submit a letter urging Oregon’s Congressional Delegation to invest potential federal stimulus dollars in transportation electrification. Thirty-six other partners and organizations – including the Oregon Department of Energy and Oregon Department of Transportation – signed on in support.
The letter addresses two key barriers to transportation electrification as part of stimulus funding: the purchase costs of electric vehicles and the availability of charging infrastructure. This call joins other national efforts using potential stimulus funding to support clean energy infrastructure that includes transportation electrification.
