Oregon state agencies have funding for financial incentives and are planning public charging infrastructure to help Oregon’s medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleets electrify.

They’re inviting fleet operators to a preview of their plans early next month.

Join staff from the Oregon Departments of Transportation and Environmental Quality for a joint webinar Dec. 3 about DEQ’s Clean Fuels Program incentives and ODOT’s public fleet EV charging station deployment plans. You’ll also have a chance to ask questions and share your feedback.

Anyone working in fleet operations in Oregon is welcome, whether your fleet currently has EVs or you’re considering adopting EVs in the future.

Webinar details

Meetings are open to everyone. If you need an accommodation to attend this webinar, contact Nikolah Bonnett or call statewide relay at 7-1-1 at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting.

 

Webinar content preview

ODOT
ODOT’s medium- and heavy-duty public EV charging infrastructure deployment plans are focused on Interstates 5 and 84. The work is still in the preliminary planning phase, but ODOT has secured grant funding from two federal programs for the stations’ planning, design and installation work.

At the webinar, ODOT staff will give an overview of their plans for the public fleet EV charging stations on both roads and ask for feedback from attendees.

Note: ODOT does not own, install, operate or maintain public EV charging infrastructure. Funding for this public EV charging station work comes from federal sources and can’t legally be used for ODOT operations or road and bridge maintenance.

DEQ
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s Clean Fuels Program is providing financial incentives for Oregon public fleets and their contractors through advance crediting. The financial incentives allow fleets to get an up-front loan of Clean Fuels Program credits when they put a new medium- or heavy- duty electric vehicle into service. This helps lower the cost of these new electric vehicles and gets more of them on the roads in Oregon.

DEQ staff will give an overview of the advance crediting process for fleets and preview how the application process will work. DEQ wants your feedback ahead of the application window opening early next year. Read more about advance crediting on DEQ’s website.

Accelerating Oregon’s transition to EVs is one of the ways ODOT and DEQ are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. By 2050, our data says Oregon is on track to reduce emissions by about 60%. Learn how we’ll get there on Oregon’s transportation emissions website.
