The State of Oregon is looking to take a leap into the future on transportation.
The Environmental Quality Commission will soon be voting on whether to adopt the ACC11 Rule. This would phase in a requirement that all new car sales be electric by 2035. This transition to electric vehicles would mean big savings for rural communities such as ours. With longer distances to travel, rural residents are especially feeling the financial pinch of high gas prices. Electric vehicles offer an alternative to this pain at the pump.
What is the view of our electricity provider? One need look no further than Pacific Power's rebates to residential customers for the purchase of certain models of electric charging stations. And programs to charge at non-peak hours can ensure the electric grid can handle the increased demand.
Electric vehicles are coming — to the benefit of us all.
