PENDLETON â The city of Pendleton is hosting a grand opening for its new electric car charging station, a first of its kind for the city.
The 102 S.W. Frazer Ave. station, located in the same parking lot as the Pendleton Chamber of Commerce and the Heritage Station Museum, will feature a 15-20 minute presentation during the 5 p.m. ceremony on Friday, May 21.
The charging station has been in operation since April and joins the charging station at the Wildhorse Resort & Casino on the Umatilla Indian Reservation, which only services Tesla vehicles.
The station cost $77,000 and was mostly paid for with a grant from Pacific Power, with the rest of the cost supplemented by the cityâs urban renewal district.
