You can9t just roll into FivePine and say <fill 8er up.= Neither location are <super chargers.= Tesla, somewhat like Apple computers, has its own connecting cables that do not play well with the other brands. Yes, you can use a Tesla station, but you9ll need to purchase an adapter for cars other than Tesla. More critically, even with an adapter you cannot get a <super charge,= requiring your non-Tesla to hook up for several hours, as many as 16 or 20. The most visible public charging station is at Mainline Station (McDonald9s and Chevron). There you can get Level 2 charging, about 14-35 mrh (miles range per hour) costing $4 per session or a Level 3 charging yield- ing about 100 mrh for $7.50 a charge for any brand.

Employers in Sisters are getting in on the charging act as a recruiting incentive and employee perk.

Similarly, Sisters Inn & Suites makes its Level 2 char- ger available for guests as being good for business. EV sales in the U.S. are expected to grow from 1.4 million units in 2020 to 6.9 million in 2025, according to London-based Frost & Sullivan, a prominent global forecaster. That9s a 393 per- cent increase in five short years. Oregon is a trend- leader in electric vehicles, meaning Sisters will neces- sarily have to increase its availability of chargers. Environmental activist Scott Bowler, a resident of Sisters and Oregon National Desert Association9s 2020 Conservationist of the Year, hopes the City will take into account the growth of elec- tric vehicles and the need for more charging stations in its developing Comprehensive Plan. Bowler would like to see free charging stations at City Hall, Sisters Library, and Sisters High School, for starters.
