Transportation planners, the auto industry, and consumers are seeking
alternatives to the internal combustion engine. Electric vehicles (EVs) are an
increasingly feasible alternative and may soon be widely available to individual
consumers and businesses. EVs, however, represent a nascent technology and
their implications for cities and transportation systems have yet to be fully
understood. This report identifies and analyzes key issues and opportunities
related to the adoption of EVs in the EugeneâSpringfield metropolitan region.
