About the project
The ODOT Climate Office, in partnership with the Oregon Department of Energy, is undertaking the Transportation Electrification Infrastructure Needs Analysis study to identify the charging needs and gaps across Oregon.
Convenient, accessible charging infrastructure is a critical driver in accelerating the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and other types of electric transportation (such as electric buses, delivery vans, freight trucks and e-bikes) and to achieve the state's greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals, particularly in the transportation sector. Governor Brown's Executive Order 20-04 directs ODOT to lead this study, in collaboration with other agencies and entities.
- Highlight charging infrastructure needs for light-duty zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in support of the statewide adoption targets for 2025, 2030, and 2035 included in Senate Bill 1044.
- Provide a near-term and long-term high-level overview of the charging infrastructure needs for other vehicle classes and use types, ranging from medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses to e-bikes and e-scooters.
- Develop a vision of the charging infrastructure needed to meet Oregon's transportation electrification (TE) goals over the next 15 years.
- Assess the unique needs for charging infrastructure to support transportation electrification in all parts of the state.
- Propose policy options and identify ways to expand charging infrastructure in Oregon to accelerate statewide transportation electrification.
- Position Oregon to develop an overall ZEV charging infrastructure strategy that can inform development of EV charging infrastructure in Oregon and support the state in meeting its transportation electrification and greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals.
