The City of Stevenson, the Stevenson Business Association (SBA) and the Port of Skamania County partnered to bring the first Level II Electric Vehicle Charging Station to Washington’s side of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
The station is located at Teo Park along the Columbia River Waterfront in the City of Stevenson, adjacent to shops, restaurants, spas and art galleries.
“As a small town, Stevenson has been forward thinking and on the cutting edge, such as being one of the first cities to offer city-wide free Wi-Fi access, and now the EV Charging Station,” said Scott Anderson, president of SBA.
Moli Thomas, of MST Consulting, who managed the project, said “Stevenson is a wonderful, eco-friendly tourism destination. This charger is another way that we can help support healthy tourism activity in the area. Our goal is to bring people out to one of the most beautiful places on the planet and let them recharge while taking advantage of all that Stevenson has to offer.”
MST Consulting said the station will allow people using electric vehicles to reach the area from the I-5 corridor (50 miles west) and recharge for their return trip.
