Oregon's $52 million EV fast-charging program has built no stations after two years
Original: 2 years in, Oregon still has no electric vehicle fast-charging stations through a $52 million federally funded program
Two years after Oregon received $52 million in federal funding to build electric vehicle fast-charging stations along its highways, not a single station has opened. Reporting from Jefferson Public Radio and Oregon Public Broadcasting highlights the delay, raising questions about permitting, contracting, and implementation of the federally funded program in the state.
Why now: The long delay in delivering federally funded infrastructure despite significant public money is drawing scrutiny from local media and residents.
