A new report from the Edison Electric Institute and the Institute for Electric Innovation projects more than 7 million plug-in vehicles (PEVs) will be on U.S. roads by 2025, representing 7% of all vehicle sales and 3% of all registered cars and light-duty vehicles.
The report also estimates that 5 million charging ports will be needed to support this growth and calls on utilities to help fill this need by developing make-ready energy grid infrastructure that can integrate new and upgraded charging connections, owning and operating charging stations, offering electric rates that incentivize charging at specific times of day, and conencting site hosts with charging infrastructure providers. It included the following examples of utilities already supporting EV charging infrastracture:
