19. Work Assignment for Break Out Group 10
• General Framing… not perfect decisions!
• Assignments:
1) Placement Plan
Hypothetical placement plan to assign:
40 Level 2 chargers
50 Level 3 chargers (fast chargers)
2) Process
a) Regional coordination in Willamette Valley
b) Cooperation / collaboration with Puget Sound area /
Washington state.
3) Policy
Group discussion / recommendation
Willamette Valley / Puget Sound Corridor – Breakout Group 10

20. Placement Plan
• Allocation / Assignment
– 40 Level II Charging Stations
– 50 Level III (Fast) Charging Stations
• Exercise – Where and how should these
be placed to connect each region?
– Portland Metropolitan area
– Salem / Keizer
– Corvallis / Albany
– Eugene / Springfield
Willamette Valley / Puget Sound Corridor – Breakout Group 10

21. Process (1 of 2)
• Should Oregon reach out to our neighbors
in Washington and propose the joint
design and deployment of a network of
Level-2 and Level-3 charging stations that
will extend and integrate the corridor from
Eugene all the way to Seattle, linking the
urban regions along the way, including
Vancouver, Centralia, Olympia, Tacoma,
and Seattle?
Willamette Valley / Puget Sound Corridor – Breakout Group 10

22. Process (2 of 2)
• Is this a good or bad idea?
• Should we think even bigger and
bring our friends from Vancouver,
B.C. into the plan? How soon?
• What recommendation would you
make to the rest of the E.V. Road
Map participants?
Willamette Valley / Puget Sound Corridor – Breakout Group 10

23. Policy
Select 3 tasks to discuss as a group:
• TASK ONE
– What marketing initiatives are needed in 2010 to attract infrastructure “hosts”
and customers?
• TASK TWO
– What will the E.V. service station of the future look like?
• TASK THREE
– What should be our region’s pricing policy for publicly-accessible charging
infrastructure within and across metropolitan regions in Oregon (and across
electric utility service areas)?
• TASK FOUR
– What is the business model and usage policy for charging infrastructure. How
much should users be charged?
– How will revenue be split between a city, utility, and a service provider?
• TASK FIVE
– What should be our region’s plan and policy for deploying charging infrastructure
at places of employment?
– Who is responsible for this activity?
• TASK SIX
– What criteria should be used for siting charging infrastructure?
• What are the goals / metrics?
