In a race to see who can get the most green merit badges, Portland (and Mayor Sam Adams) have pulled ahead of San Francisco (and Mayor Gavin Newsom) by enacting incentives for EVs to populate the greater metro area. It's well known the two are dueling for title of "greenest city/mayor in America.
In addition to the obligatory "good" parking spots the city promises to make it easy for charging stations to be enacted. One of the more bizarre promises is the city claiming to make it easier for garage-less EV owners to have an easier time charging at home. How they plan to do that exactly (short of having charging stations deployed like parking meters) remains to be seen.
Now all we need is actual EV's to make the Mayor's dream a reality.
Gavin, you're on the clock. What's your move?
