EV charging station & fleet planning technical assistance
If you are a nonresidential customer considering your first electric vehicle or considering how to transition your fleet to electric vehicles, contact us. Pacific Power’s technical assistance program provides support evaluating vehicle options, charging systems, electric rates and the potential incentives.
This service is offered at no cost to customers and can help you evaluation your options with an on-site feasibility analysis and customized technical fleet advising. All nonresidential customers in Oregon and Washington are eligible to apply for technical assistance.
Here are some example projects:
- Workplace charging
- Fleet operations charging
- Multifamily properties
- Municipal locations
- Public fast charging
- New construction
We will coordinate and schedule a site visit to your property to perform analysis of EVSE technology options, costs, rates, and best practices for siting, configuring, installing and management of equipment.
When complete, you will receive a customized report to help understand options to get your equipment installed and fleet vehicles selected (if applicable).
