[Caevlist] promoting EV charging stations in Corvallis area

[Katalin E Pusztavari]

OK, I will admit a fast charger in Corvallis would have been handy for my friend with a Model Y. He had to drive all the way to Salem, do fast charging, then come back to Corvallis, do a bit more charging so that he would have enough charge to get back to Newport. Granted, he was hauling a trailer and the Y got about 50% of range with it.

I'm not sure how best to advocate for the utility to do so, but I  believe there are funds available from the DEQ Clean Fuels Program for use in transportation electrification program support to utilities.  PacPower may have better access to this funding source than CPI, based on program rules.

I’m more interested in more chargers in Eugene or Salem where I travel to. That said, businesses and people living in apartments should be clamoring for Corvallis EV chargers.
