Examples of previously funded projects include:

• EVSE infrastructure – A rural hospitality destination installed public EV charging stations,  providing convenient charging access for visitors and community members. The project helped fill a gap in charging infrastructure and encouraged electric vehicle adoption.  
• EV purchase – A nonprofit organization expanded its delivery services by adding electric vehicles to its fleet, helping connect underserved households with essential resources. The project improved operational efficiency while supporting cleaner transportation. 
• Micromobility – An affordable housing organization distributed e-bikes to residents to increase access to reliable, low-cost transportation. The project connected housing and mobility solutions to support long-term community benefits. 
• Outreach & education – A conservation-focused nonprofit adopted electric transportation and public charging infrastructure to support fieldwork, education and community engagement. The project advanced sustainability goals while improving access to important community resources. 
• Needs assessment – A regional organization conducted an electric vehicle infrastructure assessment to help guide future charging investments. The project created a roadmap for expanding EV access and meeting growing transportation needs. 

Grant matching support is designed to offset project costs related to transportation electrification. These awards provide matching funds, cost shares, or support for other project costs incurred while implementing a transportation electrification project funded by another grant. Applicants for grant matching support should review the eligibility requirements, definitions, and terms and conditions before applying. The applicant will need to share plans about the project, describe how the project will benefit Pacific Power customers and demonstrate a need for grant matching support.

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Repair support grants are designed to offset the costs of repairing, improving, and providing for sustained maintenance of transportation electrification projects previously funded by Pacific Power’s Infrastructure Charging Pilot awards issued between 2018 and 2020 in Washington. EVSE Repair Support grant applications will be considered for sites that successfully purchased and installed EVSE during the pilot program. Applicants must demonstrate a current need to repair, maintain or improve the EVSE that cannot be fulfilled through other sources of available funding.
