The report outlines the challenges of interconnecting charging infrastructure for trucks and buses at scale, and details ten recommendations for lawmakers, utility regulators, and utilities to ensure distribution grids are prepared for this new load.
The study leads to insights and recommendations to help utilities, policymakers, and the transportation industry decarbonize fleet vehicles.
This paper projects the number of jobs that will be needed to expand electric light-duty vehicle (LDV) and medium- and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) charging infrastructure to meet annual charging needs through 2032. It quantifies the charging needs of a growing electric vehicle fleet that is aligned with newly proposed federal standards, and then projects the number of new jobs needed to deploy the necessary infrastructure.
Coltura's new report provides new gasoline consumption data showing how to cut vehicle emissions more quickly, efficiently, and equitably by prioritizing the light duty vehicle drivers in the top 10% for gasoline use (“Superusers”) for the switch to EVs.
This report provides a holistic, national-level examination of transportation electrification challenges that directly impact integrated distribution planning, and outlines how coordinated planning that addresses the largest grid challenges can help instill confidence in long-term plans.
This analysis offers insights into key trends driving growth in this market, as well as opportunities to further accelerate this growth that can help inform policymakers, original equipment manufacturers, and fleet owners.
Whether it’s called peer pressure, social contagion, or the neighborhood effect, the phenomenon is clear: as social beings, humans have the ability to influence one another by their actions. In this report, Generation180 explores how peer influence is playing a key role in accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across the United States.
Atlas Public Policy assessed the current and planned production capacity for class 4-8 heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles in the United States based on publicly available information from vehicle manufacturers and news sources. The report discusses manufacturers plans to increase manufacturing capacity for heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles through building new facilities, expanding existing facilities, and the recalibration of production at facilities that are capable of producing both internal combustion and zero-emission vehicles side-by-side.
This study explores the current landscape of school buses in New Jersey, estimates the economic and environmental impacts that come with full school bus electrification, and identifies the most crucial barriers to school bus electrification in the State, identifying specific pathways to address those issues and recommendations to make adoption feasible.
In an effort to identify processes for measuring, verifying, and evaluating charger reliability and performance, the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) convened an online Evaluating EV Charger Reliability and Performance Charrette on June 13, 2023. The charette was facilitated by Atlas Public Policy staff, and invited participants included a balanced representation of stakeholders from the EV charging industry, state and federal government agencies, including State Energy Offices and State Departments of Transportation, utilities, and consulting firms.
