The purpose of this website is to provide information to community leaders, businesses and consumers that will help them participate in making Oregon the leading place in North America for the introduction of electric vehicles. We believe electric vehicles will bring enormous benefits to the planet and to our state.

2010 promises to be a breakout year for electric vehicles - and Oregon could be a breakout place. For the first time, we will see significant numbers of electric vehicles begin to arrive here. Some will be produced locally. Others will come from global brands. All will have access to a charging network whose numbers will grow from a couple dozen to several hundred stations.

This is all to the good. The electrification of transportation, which has been so well-documented by The Electrification Coalition's Electrification Roadmap booklet, portends a future about to take root in the Willamette Valley. During the last year, Oregon has become an active player in the E.V. arena, with a number of promising relationships and activities in the early stages of development. With additional thought, effort and strategic focus Oregon in the next couple of years, Oregon can become the national leader in adopting and incorporating new vehicle types as part of a larger quest for sustainable mobility. That requires a path going forward ... a road map.

The E.V. Road Map we are pursuing in Oregon is not a monolithic, fixed plan. Instead, it is a continuous and dynamic enterprise guided by discovery, partnerships, communication, public-opinion research in Oregon and beyond, and a portfolio of well-selected projects. Come join us!.
