Summary of MJB&A’s Recent and Ongoing Electric Vehicle Research

Transportation electrification has been a focus of our work since the early 1990’s, when we managed DARPA-funded electric vehicle (EV) development projects in New England. In recent years, we have completed numerous policy studies and analyses related to transportation electrification, with an emphasis on the role of electric utilities in the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This has included state-level transportation electrification cost-benefit analysis, policy-focused white papers, analysis of electricity pricing options to incentivize EV adoption while minimizing grid impacts, and development of GIS-based tools to identify possible locations for EV charging investments. This summary document outlines some of our recent and ongoing electric vehicle research.
