[Oeva-list] PGE Charging Stations

[Rick Durst]

The charges are $1.60 per hour and as an EV you can park all day, although that is expensive, it is consistent with the on street parking for non-EVs. The EV button allows you to purchase a parking pass for more than 2 hours. The pass is printed with EV charging only, so don't try to use it not in an EV Spot. Make sure you are plugged in as well.

They just put new signs to make it clearer that those spots are for EVs only. There have been many an ICE vehicle ticketed and towed.
For problems with the charger, call the WTC electricians at 503-464-8699 or stop by the security desk in the 1 or 3 buildings.
I will arrange to get a phone number on the station. After hours support is generally not available.

Hi,

I was charging a bit today at the SW 1st and Salmon stations, and noticed that one of the two 110v outlets is not working (yes, I flipped the breaker a few times and checked each time, to no avail).  There are no phone numbers on or near the chargers that I could find to report it.  I mentioned it to a person in the PGE payment center (visible from the chargers) but they didn't know anything about it....  Anyone know?

Also, anyone have a clear idea of the parking charges there?  The sign seems somewhat confusing to me.  It says:


Electric Vehicles


 *   Must Pay to Park
 *   Must be Charging
 *   May Park Without Time Limit
 *   Start with Electric Vehicle Button
 *   $1.60 per hour

"May Park Without Time Limit" seems to imply that it doesn't matter what you pay, as long as you're charging you are ok.  But then it says $1.60 per hour.  Which is it?
