Online Now: ODOT Open House on EV Fast Charging Stations
The Oregon Department of Transportation Climate Office has partnered with private companies to begin work on new electric vehicle fast charging stations along Interstate 5, Highway 97, and Interstate 205. To help share information and progress updates, ODOT has created an online open house website that highlights projects, benefits, new locations, and more!
There is also a survey linked to each road’s open house station to collect local factors that should be considered, and other community needs that are important to you. The online open house website will be available through March 3, 2023.
More information about the new fast charging stations:
The stations will be no farther than 50 miles apart from each other and within one mile of an exit, if possible.
The new EV fast charging stations are funded by the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program.
The NEVI program will send Oregon $65 million over five years to fund stations on interstates and highways throughout Oregon. Read a summary of our five year plan for the funding.
ODOT will contract with private EV charging companies to install, own and operate the new fast charging stations.
