News Updates | "State gains electric car funds" | The Register-Guard | Eugene, Oregon: "Electric Transportation Engineering Corp., or ETEC, a subsidiary of ECOtality, received a $100 million grant to launch what it says is the largest deployment of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure in U.S. history. Its partners in the project include the state of Oregon and Portland General Electric.

The goal of the project is to create a “mature charging environment” for electric vehicles, so drivers can be confident that there are enough charging stations that they won’t run out of juice, said Colin Read, ECOtality’s vice president of development."
