I have not been following all of the "look at us, we now have charging" newswires, because I have backed off/away from posting as much of those since now a lot of the previous evdl nabble archive capabilities have been taken away. So, I know less than before, but nothing comes to mind of an item smacking/hitting me in the face about one touting what good EV deeds OR has done by putting in e-hwy L3 EVSE.
A look at plugshare.com shows a huge void/desert lacking in L3, especially ccs. But plugshare does show a well distributed gob of 10kW RV parks with 14-50's for hire (not cheap nor free). The problem with those is you have to adapt and carry a 6kW EVSE with you. You won't get all 10kW from those 14-50 outlets you are paying for. A way around that is to throw money at it for a only a modest charging ability https://www.google.com/search?q=10kw+ccs+combo There are combo EVSE you can buy that will pull from a 14-50 (but they are no cheap, nor are you getting the quickie 50kW you want you might as well throw you hands up and plug into a public 6kW EVSE and call it a night). Plugshare shows only a couple L3 ccs combo EVSE in OR and they are up where you are near Portland. Those few ccs L3 EVSE plugshare showed, were mostly greenlots EVSE, and a opconnect. I peeked and poked around various EVSe company sites showed a couple more ccs EVSE that was not shown on plugshare (hmm, plugshare drivers are getting lazy?). A simple search gave some links for you to explore, and make contact with EVSE businesses and e-hwy people to hit them up to install more ccs: https://www.google.com/search?q=evgo+combo+ccs https://www.google.com/search?q=ccs+combo+oregon https://www.google.com/search?q=plugshare+combo+ccs+oregon https://www.google.com/search?q=greenlots+ccs+combo https://www.google.com/search?q=evgo+ccs+combo https://chargenow.chargepoint.com/charge_point IMO, if I were in your busy (need to travel) professional shoes, I would go for that lease limiting yourself to a nil L3 ccs infrastructure. Event an EV that uses CHAdeMO may not serve all your needs. Not when for $43k you can get a used Tesla-S 60 with free supercharging, or for $51k a Tesla-S 85 with free supercharging: https://www.tesla.com/used?price_range=0,60000&model=ms&sort=price|asc (I used Portland zip code 97203, and limited searches to $60k or less, sorted by price) Good luck on your decision. I hope your choice suits your EV driving needs (and budget).
