About this file
This document is a presentation prepared by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) outlining the scope and development process for the EVICC's Third Assessment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The presentation, delivered by Policy Advisor Mark Scribner and Clean Energy Policy Advisor Katie Gronendyke during summer 2026 scope meetings, presents the framework for conducting a comprehensive third assessment that prioritizes strategic, high-value charging investments aligned with Massachusetts' 2030 climate goals. Key deliverables include a more concise and actionable assessment document, early and ongoing engagement with EVICC members and stakeholders, and integration of the Section 103 grid planning process. The assessment will address specific topics including optimal siting for public and private charging infrastructure, long-term load management planning, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging strategies, grid resilience and emergency preparedness, improved road signage standards, and comprehensive analysis of existing charger utilization and payback periods. The development timeline spans from summer 2026 through late fall 2026, with contractor onboarding and initial stakeholder interviews commencing in summer 2026, a public EVICC meeting scheduled for September 2, 2026, scope refinement in early fall 2026, and finalization of scope and outline by late fall 2026.
The presentation emphasizes that the Third Assessment will build upon 32 recommendations from the Second Assessment and focuses on six strategic priority areas: strategic funding allocation prioritizing highway DC fast charging, multifamily level 2 charging, workplace infrastructure, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging, and curbside charging; improved customer experience through reliability standards and pricing transparency; enhanced program efficiency through better alignment of MassEVIP and utility incentive programs; long-term proactive planning across multiple state programs; grid impact minimization; and removal of deployment barriers. The assessment will include modeling of different EV charging scenarios, identification of areas experiencing significant step load increases, and an inventory of both public and private chargers. Member input is solicited at specific milestones, including identification of gaps, emerging priorities, and perspectives from agencies and stakeholders, with formal feedback requested at the September 2, 2026 EVICC meeting.

Scoping EVICC’s Third Assessment
Mark Scribner, Policy Advisor for Transportation Decarbonization, EEA Katie Gronendyke, Clean Energy Policy Advisor, EEA Summer 2026
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs
Recap of Second Assessment
High-level takeaway Massachusetts remains a national EVSE leader — but deployment must accelerate and adapt to meet 2030 climate goals.
recommendations
Goal: prioritize high-value charging investments, coordinate programs, and reduce grid and deployment barriers.
Be more strategic with funding Prioritize highest-value investments: highway DCFC, multifamily L2, workplace, MHDV, curbside.
Better leverage private funding.
Improve customer experience Set minimum reliability standards and improve transparency on pricing, fees, and station signage.
Improve efficiency of programs Better align MassEVIP and utility incentive programs.
Improve long-term proactive planning Coordinate strategic planning across Section 103, CECP, interconnection, grid infrastructure, and future funding.
Grid impact Deploy programs and technologies that minimize peak demand and reduce the need for electric grid upgrades.
Remove deployment barriers Develop resources for municipalities and site hosts; standardize EVSE permitting.
Developing the Third Assessment Scope Process
Deliver a more concise, focused, actionable Assessment
Engage with EVICC members, agencies, and stakeholders early and often
Integrate Section 103 grid planning process in the development of the Assessment
Topics
• Prioritizing the highest-impact areas for public and private investment
• Long-term load management planning, V2X, and novel approaches to customer price signals
• Creation of a long-term plan for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging
• Improving EV charging road signage
• Utilization and payback periods of existing chargers
Improving siting and permitting and interconnection for EV charging
• Grid resilience and infrastructure needs for EVs before, during, and after emergency events
Expanding resources/guidance to strengthen implementation, municipal support, and public education
Analysis
• Model different EV charging need scenarios
• Identify areas with likely step load increases of EV charging, like electrifying fleet depots
• Inventory of both public and private chargers
Third Assessment Development Timeline
Where member input is most helpful
Surface gaps
Share perspectives
Provide feedback Identify missing topics, emerging priorities, or areas that can be de-prioritized.
Bring agency and stakeholder perspectives.
Provide comment at the September EVICC meeting; review Third Assessment scope.
Summer 2026 Onboard contractor; conduct initial agency and stakeholder interviews; refine proposed scope.
Sept. 2, 2026 Public EVICC meeting to discuss the proposed scope and gather member feedback.
Early Fall 2026 Refine scope; develop and formalize the Third Assessment outline; continue engagement.
Late Fall 2026 Finalize scope and outline to guide development of the Third Assessment.
The timeline remains preliminary and may be refined as the scope and engagement plan develop.
