High-Voltage Transmission Grid Critical to Meeting Electric Vehicle Charging Demands

Electric vehicle (EV) charging needs along Massachusetts and New York highways will require interconnection to high-capacity transmission lines in the next decade, finds a first-in-the-nation study. The Electric Highways Study (https://www.nationalgrid.com/us/EVhighway) provides a blueprint for the strategic buildout of fast-charging sites along highway corridors to meet an upcoming surge in demand from the electrification of passenger vehicles and commercial trucks. The study examined current traffic patterns and expected charger use to forecast charging demand at 71 highway sites across New York and Massachusetts. The analysis included relevant electric vehicle sales goals and mandates in National Grid’s home states — considering scenarios where all light-duty vehicle sales are electric by 2035 and all medium-and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) sales are electric by 2045.
