The Bend, Ore., property now offers two Tesla level-two 100-amp stations and a universal 40-amp station for other brands, available to tourists and locals.
Tetherow Resort in Bend, Ore., has installed three electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, including two Tesla level two 100-amp stations and a universal 40-amp station for other brands, the Portland (Ore.) Business Journal reported.
The stations are in front of The Lodges at Tetherow, and are available to guests and members. The resort said the EV stations further its goal of reducing its carbon footprint, the Business Journal reported.
“Tetherow’s commitment to the environment is integrated into nearly every aspect of the course development and its ongoing agronomic practices ensure sustainability. The EV charging stations are another stride toward reducing environmental emissions,” according to the property’s website.
“With over one million EVs on the road today, with the majority purchased in West Coast states including California, Washington and Oregon, and their popularity quickly growing, the need for charging stations is critical for Central Oregon residents and tourists alike.
“The popularity for EVs is mainly due to their small carbon footprint, a $7,500 federal tax credit, and accessibility to the newest vehicle technologies, according to Drive Oregon. Tesla states that it is now possible for Tesla drivers to drive from California to New England for free using the company’s supercharger network.”
“Hundreds call the Tetherow community home, others have proclaimed it as their favorite golf destination,” said Tetherow co-owner Erin van der Velde. “The resort hosts hundreds of groups and parties throughout the year, and we are proud to accommodate visitors with the EV charging stations and feel confident their vehicles will be fully charged while they are out having fun.”
Being at the forefront of technological trends is nothing new for the resort’s golf club, which implemented GolfBoards last year.
