'Electric Highway' Charging Stations In Oregon Upgraded to Power Electric Bicycles

01 Jun 2022 | Abstracted from Oregon Capital Chronicle

"The cost to add the e-bike chargers to the existing vehicle charging stations was about $4 million... The money comes out of the $100 million the Oregon Department of Transportation has dedicated to growing a network of electric vehicle charging stations every 50 miles on most of the state's highways..."

"The 44 charging stations in Oregon along the main highways are a fraction of the more than 2,000 stations in Oregon. Adding bike charging ports to the others could come soon, according to ODOT."
