Oregon has big plans for electric vehicles. The state has a goal to have 50,000 electric-fueled vehicles on Oregon’s highways and byways by the end of 2020. Pacific Power and the Madras-JC Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to ensure electric vehicle drivers have another fast, convenient place to power up during central Oregon journeys. As the first dual-standard charger in operation in the area, up to six electric vehicles can charge at once. All makes and models of electric vehicles can recharge using one of four fast chargers or choose a L2 dual port.
