Oregon EV Charging Incentives
Build EV Charging in Oregon for Less
Oregon continues to be a leader in transportation electrification, offering a combination of state programs, utility incentives, and federal funding that can substantially reduce the cost of EV charging infrastructure.
Whether you're installing charging at a workplace, commercial property, multifamily community, fleet depot, or public destination, there are multiple funding opportunities that may help offset equipment, installation, and electrical infrastructure costs.
At Charli, we help organizations identify applicable incentives, prepare projects for funding opportunities, and deliver turnkey EV charging infrastructure from planning through long-term operation.
