Electric Vehicles Coming On Strong in Oregon

Here's some news from an article I read in Inc. Magazine the other day ( http://bit.ly/i5ECoZ  ) about electric vehicles or EV's.

It appears that Portland Oregon of all places, has become somewhat of a mecca for all vehicles electrical. A quote from the article, "Portland has had some of the earliest, most enthusiastic leadership around electric vehicles," says Chelsea Sexton, an alternative-fuel expert. "And the industry tends to align with where the market is."



According to the article, there's a "growing concentration of 27 electric-car and component companies along the 110-mile-long corridor from Portland to Eugene.", many of which are start-ups. On top of that, several well-known companies, such as Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Navistar, are going to use the Portland area to test market their EV's.

Here are some of the manufacturers:

Arcimoto (http://www.arcimoto.com/ ) - vehicle manufacturer
Shorepower Technologies ( http://www.shorepower.com  ) - charging-station manufacturer
Synkromotive ( http://www.synkromotive.com  ) - motor and component manufacturer
AmFor Electronics ( http://www.amforelectronics.com ) - wiring systems for electric vehicles
MotoCzysz ( http://www.motoczysz.com ) - motorcycles and DigitalDrive
