Pacific Power has awarded more than $2 million to 22 organizations in Oregon for projects that will expand electric mobility and connect people across the state to the cost-saving, clean-air benefits of electric vehicles, with one of the projects targeted for Hood River.  Funds will be used to install four publicly accessible EV charging ports at the Hood River Valley Adult Center.  The center runs a volunteer Circles of Care program that provides free rides to medical appointments, and being able to charge EVs quickly is important.  Other groups that will benefit from additional charging capacity include 30 EV drivers associated with the center and residents of a nearby senior-living facility.
