Where are you on the road to driving electric?
Whether you’re just starting to explore electric cars or already made the switch, we’ve got the tools, information and programs to help you on your journey towards zero emissions and a clean energy future.
New to electric vehicles?
Electric vehicles strike that perfect balance between meeting your transportation needs and reducing your carbon footprint. Plus, you’ve gotta admit, they’re fun to look at and a blast to drive.
You’ve got options
When it comes to EVs, there are a couple ways to go – all electric (BEV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
Like the name suggests, all electric cars don’t use any gas, ever. Just plug in at home or at a convenient charging station and you’re good to go.
All Electric (BEV)
These use battery power for the first several miles but then switch over to gas fuel to extend the range when the battery charge is depleted.
Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)
Crunch the numbers
Our EV Costs & Savings Calculator shows the wide variety of models available with details on cost, range, charging, environmental benefits and how much you can save by driving electric.

Here in Oregon, gas engines account for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. EVs? Virtually zero tailpipe emissions. And, you can make your electricity mix 100% carbon free with our
Green Future renewable power program.
With EVs, there’s no gas to burn or gas to buy. And maintenance, what maintenance? Simply charge it at home or at one of the many public charging stations and you’ll be set to go!
Most EVs come with a charger that uses a standard wall outlet. Just leave your car plugged in overnight and you’ll be set to go. But if you upgrade to a Level 2 charger, you can charge 5 to 7 times faster. If you’d like to charge faster at home, be sure to check out PGE+.
