Oregon Electric Vehicle Association
January 2010 Meeting – Pat's notes

Think has chosen Elkhart IN rather than Portland
Lots of EV press related to the Detroit Auto Show
We are still actively working on our 501(C)3. Expected to be final any day…

Gary's Lincoln City report

Lincoln City has installed 2 charging stations and 4 more are coming. OEVA
member was a speaker and charged his plug-in Prius. They are Coulomb
charging stations. The stations are currently free. They only have 120V
plugs now, level 2 (J1772) upgrades are expected later this year.

Coulomb Talk
The CEO of Coulomb gave a talk in Portland. Discussed how permitting is
getting resolved and simplified. Level 3 charging is coming to the Portland
area.
Mark Fronmeyer<sp> from Arcimoto was present at our meeting (no
announcements).

*2010 Goals
501c3 is one goal! No help is needed currently (we are just waiting).
