ENTERPRISE â Wallowa County is getting facilities to juice up electric vehicles.
Wallowa Resources and Forth, a Portland-based nonprofit dedicated to advancing electric, smart and shared transportation, recently presented a webinar about electric vehicles â EVs for short â for Wallowa County. The hour-long session included information about tax incentives, fueling options, cost savings and where to buy electric vehicles, from tractors to sporty sedans.
âWe see EVs as another piece of the puzzle of keeping our energy dollars local and really driving community development goals through renewable energy,â said Matt King, Wallowa Resources Renewable Energy Program manager.
King stressed the opportunities to harness local energy sources, including micro-hydro and solar to produce the power for local residentsâ electric vehicles.
