The State of Oregon always seems to be forward thinking when it comes to eco-friendly initiatives and the environment in general. Today news about a partnership between the State of Oregon, Portland General Electric and the Renault-Nissan Alliance has been released. The partnership is being created to work on an electric vehicle charging network in the state.

“This partnership represents a major step toward reliable zero-emission mobility in the state of Oregon,” said Carlos Ghosn, President and CEO of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and Renault SA,. “Together, we are creating conditions that will encourage consumers to consider an electric vehicle as an attractive choice that is also good for the environment.” (Source: PR Newswire)
