1) Oregon spearheaded the development of the West Coast Electric Highway by investing in EV charging infrastructure along Interstate 5 from British Columbia to Baja California.
2) Washington has deployed 12 public fast charging locations along I-5 and is measuring increasing use of the stations. Challenges include sustaining the network without grants and coordinating standards.
3) California's Plug-in Electric Vehicle Collaborative is working to transition the state to EVs, with nearly 37,000 EVs sold so far and incentives and resources to support the market. The group is focusing on expanding workplace and multi-unit dwelling charging.

Infrastructure
Deployment
EV charging network: 12 public charging locations
in critical recharge zones outside of The EV project
to make DC fast charging available every 35 to 50
miles.
Charging equipment: Both AeroVironment DC fast
charger (CHAdeMO) and Level 2 EVSE (J1772) at
each location.
Locations: Private retail locations such as shopping
malls, restaurants, and fueling stations. Plus, two
“gateway” safety rest areas along I-5.
Completed: November, 2012.
Funding: $1.6 million grant through the Washington
State Department of Commerce, State Energy
Program, with U.S. Department of Energy Recovery
Act funds.

•WSDOT, plus two or three other municipal fleets (cities, counties)
•Innovative private companies to manage the fleet (e.g., Getaround)
•Communities with basic network of public charging stations

Opportunities:
expanding the
charging network
and fostering EV
innovation
•Washington Governor Jay Inslee Proposed Clean Energy
Investments
•Extend EV fast charging network in Washington to expand consumer
confidence for using electric vehicles
•Leverage Washington’s clean, low-cost hydropower and wind
resources in the move to vehicle electrification with state
procurement of electric vehicles.
•Appointed Lynn Peterson as Secretary of Washington's Department
of Transportation (former Sustainable Communities and

Conclusions
Transportation fuel consumes 31% of all the energy we use however it takes 51% percent of the money spent on energy in the state making it the most expensive energy we use.
Just last month, the Nissan Leaf, a 100 percent electric zero-emission vehicle, outsold all other Nissan models in Portland. March 2013 had the highest EV sales on record nationwide. In Oregon, and nationwide, the rate of EV adoption has far surpassed that of the hybrid in its early stages.
2012 tot 2013 tot I-5 comparison 2111 2283 7.53% US 2 comparison 354 406 12.81% I-90 comparison 13 72 81.94% What we’d really like to measure is the effectiveness of the project/brand in easing consumers’ concerns about range, resulting in higher sales figures in PNW.
Collaboration on outreach materials, research, cross-promotion of the benefits of EV sharing all of the learning on EV and EVSE usage.
Difficult issues…people are working on them. Most of our focus is on the charging infrastructure, and not the vehicles themselves.
31% growth in BEV sales in 2 nd Quarter = avg. ~380 new BEVs month (adding 4,560 per year – flat lined, not compounded or based on % increase, which would be even greater) Compounded annual growth rate: ~125% - much greater than 380 units/mo.
The PEVC is three years old this month – July 2013! PEVC membership convenes three times a year to have high-level dialogue on current and emerging PEVC policy and market trends Next PEVC meeting is November 6 at UC Davis. The focus will be themed around data collection. YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND
Carpool stickers: White are for pure battery electric vehicles, cng and hydrogen – cars that meet federal Inherently Low Emission Vehicle (ILEV) standard. Unlimited. Sunsets December 31, 2014. Green stickers, cleanest plug in hybrids, limited to 40,000. Sunsets December 31, 2014. To date – about 14,000 stickers given out by DMV
· NRG plans on building EV chargers on Route 99 (and a few on I-5) between LA-Sacramento and LA-Bay Area as part of their legal commitment to the CPUC settlement. They will concentrate first on metro areas, so these chargers will be put in likely as late as 2015. · San Diego to LA will be taken care of by NRG’s metro chargers and existing or planned chargers.
All work products expected to be completed by November!
