Oregon Electric Scenic Byways

[mgc0216]

I hadn't seen this shared here before and I ran across it today, so I thought I'd post it up. It's a list of scenic drives in Oregon that are EV friendly. Most of us locals are probably aware of these, but if your'e visiting from out of the area it could be a useful resource:

Nice to see but C.O. is still a vast charging desert. :-(

Central Oregon is bad, but Eastern Oregon - woof.

I want to go down and explore the Steens and it looks like I have to either stay in Burns or at an RV resort in Frenchglen and do day trips out of those locations.

Don't know if you saw a thread I started around the middle of May, but ODOT is soliciting suggestions from the public on EV charging station locations: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/climate/Pages/NEVI.aspx

Feel free to enter your own personal favorites. BTW, French Glen is receiving the most votes, ATT.

Oregon is applying $100mil from the 2021 infrastructure bill to expand EV charging statewide, in the states push towards 90% of new vehicle sales being EVs by 2035. The plan is expected to have a five-fold increase in EV charging statewide along the 7 major highways I-5, I-82, I-84, 101, 26, 97 and 20. The expansion will also focus on smaller, rural communities where charging has been less available.

Curious to see what all that entails, as the plans get more finalized.

I did and responded and got invited to a listening session.
