  • Upgrades to Eugene's downtown electric network continue

    You may have noticed construction this week on the corner of 7th and Pearl Street. That’s because crews replaced a corroded, aging vault with an innovative, new Voltek vault. The Voltek design allows for the new infrastructure to be built inside of the existing aging vault. We’re able to install the new vault while the cables are still energized, minimizing disruption to customers and traffic while cutting construction time in half.

My EV Story: Lucas' Tesla Model 3

February 07, 2020

Blue Tesla Model 3 parked in garage with snow on the hood

I have been wanting an electric vehicle ever since I saw the first Nissan LEAF. 

At the time, I never had the need to switch. But when I started to drive full time for UBER, my old Hyundai Elantra was not cutting it when it came to cost or maintaining the car. I drive 60k miles a year and all city miles.

I thought to buy a LEAF but saw a Tesla Model 3 was only $3,000 more, so I bought the Tesla.

It has been problem-free and costs me only $4 a day to operate and charge under EWEB power at home.

I love my EV. It helps keep costs down and drops my reliance on fossil fuels. I will never switch back to a combustion vehicle.
