This OpConnect station at 1530 B St NE in Salem provides slower AC charging, best suited for drivers needing a local top-up rather than a rapid charge. It features Type 1 (J1772) connectors. The peak power is 4 kW, which means adding about 10-15 miles of range per hour of charging. This rate is too slow for most road trips where drivers need to add significant range quickly.
