What is make-ready infrastructure?
While most utilities stop at the meter, we’ll build the make-ready infrastructure needed for your site. Your custom cost incentives and charger rebates put everything within reach.

Making the leap to electric fuel is tough when it’s just your own car. Electrifying an entire fleet is downright intimidating. The PGE Fleet Partner program takes the guesswork out of transitioning your fleet, so you can realize both your sustainability and economic goals.
An electrified fleet can help you meet your organization's cost and environmental goals. The PGE Total Cost of Ownership tool will help you calculate the fuel savings and environmental impact of using electricity as a transportation fuel.

PGE ownership of make-ready infrastructure
While most utilities stop at the meter, we’ll build the make-ready infrastructure needed for your site. Your custom cost incentives and charger rebates put everything within reach.
Charging site(s) must be in PGE service territory
Pay for any make-ready costs not covered by the custom cost incentive
Add a minimum of 70 kW of new load (usually equivalent to 10 Level 2 ports or 1-2 DC fast chargers).
Purchase and install PGE-approved, networked, Level 2 or DC fast chargers.
Keep chargers operational and share charging data with PGE for 10 years.
Commit to forecasted energy use of the chargers
Sign an easement covering PGE-owned infrastructure.
Here’s an example of how our custom cost incentives can help you build out your charging site.
EVs typically cost less to operate because fuel and maintenance costs are lower. When you own and operate an EV charger, whether it’s for your fleet, your employees or the public, you generate Clean Fuel Credits through the Oregon Clean Fuels Program. We can help you turn the credits your chargers earn into revenue for your business. How it works.
Just fill out the simple online CFC revenue interest form to get started.
Different types of EVs require different levels of equipment. Depending on your fleet, you may need Level 2 chargers, DC Fast Charging (DCFC) or Extreme Fast Charging (XFC).
To receive a rebate, your charger must be purchased from a list of PGE qualified chargers.
