Abstract
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 Eugene‐Springfield metropolitan region. The goal of this project is to evaluate the implications of electrification of the
transportation system within the context of the Eugene‐Springfield metropolitan
area. The framework builds from local input and data analysis. To develop it we
conducted interviews with local subject experts, analyzed publicly available
market data for the region, and conducted a web‐based poll of area residents.
