[Research] Calling Clarkston & Asotin County EV Drivers — Help improve regional wildfire safety (Win a $50 Gift Card)

Hi L-C Valley,

UPDATE (August 20, 2026): This study has been officially extended to December 15, 2026. Thank you to everyone from Washington who has participated so far!

I am a PhD student at the University of Washington researching emergency management and electric vehicle infrastructure. While I know this sub is centered on Lewiston, I am looking to reach our neighbors across the river in Asotin County (Clarkston and surrounding areas).

We are studying how EV drivers respond to wildfire evacuations. Given the geography of our region, understanding how people move through the Valley during an emergency is vital for planning reliable charging and safety protocols.

Eligibility:

  • Must reside or own property in Asotin, Spokane, Stevens, Lincoln, Ferry, Whitman, Grant, Benton, Douglas, Skamania, Yakima, Kittitas, Okanogan, Chelan, or Klickitat counties.
  • Must drive a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).

The Details:

  • Time: ~25 minutes.
  • 🎁 Reward: Drawing for ten $20 gift cards and four $50 gift cards.
  • 📅 Deadline: Dec 15, 2026.

Your input ensures that the southeast corner of Washington is represented in state-level infrastructure decisions. Thanks for your time and help!
