Oregon has made significant progress toward its transportation electrification goals thanks to financial incentives for electric vehicle buyers, a growing market of new and used EV models, and an expanding charging network, according to a new report published by the Oregon Department of Energy.

ODOE works with our partners year round to share milestones toward our ZEV goals, educate the public about electric vehicles and charging, help implement the state’s strategy to reduce GHG emissions in the transportation sector, offer guidance to business and government fleets that want to make the switch to ZEVs or other alternative fuels, and more.
