ODOE “Grounded” Podcast - Ep. 53: Fueling EVs in rural Oregon
“Fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are powered by electricity, so they need to “fuel up” at charging stations. While as much as 80 percent of charging happens at home, public chargers allow those without access to home charging and those traveling farther distances to recharge their batteries.
On this episode, we discuss EV charger availability and reliability and get a first-person perspective of EVs in rural Oregon.
Guests: Jillian DiMedio, ODOE Senior Energy Policy Analyst; Steve Gutmann, co-founder of EVmath; and Robert Wallace, executive director Wy’East RC&D
