Charging stations and other related stuff...
« on: May 01, 2010, 03:28:30 AM »
Mike Lainhart from Best Buy Cascadia Station, Portland, Oregon, sent me this information about links that may help me find charging stations in my area. Girl needs juice!!

EV plug-in charging stations Google Maps   This is a link to a map provided by PGE to show stations in the Portland vicinity.

EV Roadmap  http://www.evroadmap.com/charging.html  This is a great website with links and info about EVs.

Project Get Ready: Preparing Cities for the Plug-in Electric Vehicle - http://www.projectgetready.org/  Another great site, limited charging station info, but an informative site, nonetheless.

Plug In America -  http://www.pluginamerica.org/  Promoting Plug-in Cars for a Better America - Yet another resource about EVs. This one has a sweet photo of the Enertia and other currently and soon-to-be available EVs.

OEVA: [ Home ] Oregon Electric Vehicle Association - This group meets in Portland once a month and sponsors EV Awareness Day on July 10 this year at Pioneer Square. One of their founding members mentioned the I5 charging corridor.  http://www.oeva.org/

Green Highways - article about making Interstate 5 drivable from Vancouver, BC to Tijuana, Mexico in an EV... Exciting stuff! http://www.pacificcoastcollaborative.org/priorities/transportation/Pages/GreenHighways.aspx 

Coming Soon Cascadia’s I-5 Green Corridor – Electrifying! The Nissan Leaf zero-emission electric vehicle | Green Growth Cascadia - Further proof that your Brammo will be able to take you everywhere in the Pacific Time Zone without much compromise, very soon! http://www.greengrowthcc.com/2010/04/30/green-growth-sustainable-transportation-greening-up-cascadias-i-5-corridor-with-ev/

Hope there is something of use here for you, as well.

I have to give all credit to Matt....  He is a bit obsessed with EVs! And, hes a great guy. He is one of those guys that will unltimately be the future of EVs because of sheer passion.
I hope it helps someone make a longer trip with their bike. Im sure going to try to lengthen my trips!!
