EV chargers are available! 

The co-op has new electric vehicle charging stations! Folks from Elemental Energy came out to install the chargers last week and now they’re powered up and ready to go. EV charging is available at no cost to co-op shoppers while they shop during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

This project was made possible with support from Pacific Power and the Oregon Clean Fuels Program. The chargers require an app called SemaConnect, which just takes a minute to set up.
