Electric vehicle users will now have access to chargers on the Columbia Gorge Community College campus in Hood River. PacifiCorp provided the college with up to $55,194 in funding through its e-Mobility program. The college contracted with equipment provider CharliCharger and Coburn Electric to install four “Level II” chargers in the parking lot of the Hood River campus on the Heights. The chargers are available to college students, staff, faculty and the general public. Funding for this grant is made possible by the Oregon Clean Fuels Program administered by the state Department of Environmental Quality. PacifiCorp also recently joined other West Coast utilities and agencies to explore how best to provide electric vehicle charging along Interstate 5 for electric trucks to help curb air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
