This paper describes the value of ALM systems for electric fleets, how ALM compares to alternative options, how it works, and suggests a framework of how to plan and permit a system with your local authorities.
The study leads to insights and recommendations to help utilities, policymakers, and the transportation industry decarbonize fleet vehicles.
This white paper gives an overview of several technical and non-technical aspects of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), as discussed within the CharIN Subgroup since 2018. As a descriptive summary, it provides the achievements in preparing general design aspects of an MCS. For further development this document also provides recommended MCS specifications for adoption by Standards Development Organizations (SDOs).
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.
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.
The objective of this report is to provide a guide that accelerates the MREC adoption proposed by the ChargeX consortium, ensuring consistent error reporting, interpretation, and diagnostics across the North American EV charging landscape. This guide builds upon the MRECs report to improve EV charging reliability by streamlining error reporting and transmission processes via OCPP.
The guidance provides information and actionable recommendations that municipalities and other Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) can use to make local approval processes for siting and installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure clear, predictable, and equitable.
This help sheet provides tips for conducting community engagement to support electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure planning and deployment.
Building on the earlier ANSI EVSP work, this roadmap seeks to describe the current and desired future standardization landscape that will support and facilitate EVs at scale. It identifies key safety, performance, and interoperability issues, notes relevant published and in-development standards, and makes recommendations to address gaps in codes and standards. This includes recommending pre-standardization research and development (R&D) where needed. It also includes identification of prioritized timeframes for when standardization work should occur and SDOs or other organizations that may be able to lead such work.
Plans for the national EV charging network will be shaped by a seminal study from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which has been at the forefront of assessing EV charging needs and developing state-of-the-art analytical tools for over a decade. In this study, researchers estimated the number, type, and location of chargers needed to create a comprehensive network of EV charging infrastructure, one that can support an anticipated 30–42 million EVs on the road by 2030.
