Looking for anyone in Oregon who is installing.

What problems have you solved?  Suggestions? Companies?  Hardware?

We are working with PGE on this 112 unit project with about 20 chargers (Type 2, but fighting for 240v above 30A,  48A?

Just digging into EV credits and what Oregon is promoting.

    Meet your sustainability goals and help Oregon meet our climate goals

    EVs are changing the way we drive and how we do business. We provide financial incentives to help bring EV adoption to your workplace, commercial property or fleet. By installing EV chargers, you’ll not only support your business’s sustainability, but also contribute to meeting our region’s climate and environmental goals. As an amenity, EV chargers could bring more customer traffic, greater employee satisfaction and more interest from potential tenants. If you operate a fleet, EV chargers can enable a smoother transition to affordable electric fuel.
