Electric vehicle (EV) sales are increasing year over year in the U.S., spurred in part by automakers' shift to electric models and reinforced by state and federal mandates. To meet this growing need on the grid, policymakers and regulators must proactively pursue policy solutions that will prepare the electric grid to meet EV demand while maintaining affordability and resiliency.
This guidebook presents a comprehensive set of policies and principles designed to help agency staff, policymakers, regulators, and utilities prepare the grid for large-scale EV adoption. Developed alongside EV industry stakeholders and infrastructure experts, the guide outlines model policies across four key focus areas:
- Fully Planning for Transportation Electrification
- Updating the Utility Regulatory Model for the 21st Century
- Removing Barriers to Building EV Charging Quickly
- Maximizing Existing Built Infrastructure
Together, these model policies offer a flexible yet comprehensive framework that can be tailored to local conditions and needs, empowering stakeholders to develop strategies that promote sustainable and efficient electrification of transportation.
