About this file
This document is a presentation outlining the scope planning process for the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Coordinating Council's (EVICC) Third Assessment, prepared by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA). The Third Assessment will build upon 32 recommendations from the Second Assessment and focus on delivering a more concise, actionable analysis of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) deployment and charging infrastructure needs. The scope development process includes engagement with EVICC members, agencies, and stakeholders, with planned activities including contractor onboarding and initial interviews during Summer 2026, a public EVICC meeting on September 2, 2026 to discuss the proposed scope and gather member feedback, scope refinement in early fall 2026, and finalization of the scope and outline in late fall 2026. The assessment will prioritize nine key topic areas: high-impact investment areas, long-term load management and novel customer pricing approaches, medium and heavy-duty vehicle charging planning, EV charging road signage improvements, utilization and payback analysis of existing chargers, siting and permitting improvements, grid resilience and infrastructure needs for emergency events, expanded implementation resources and municipal support, and analysis of different EV charging scenarios including fleet depot electrification and comprehensive charging inventories.
The presentation indicates that member input is most helpful during the early scoping phase, with stakeholders encouraged to surface gaps, share perspectives, identify missing topics, and provide feedback at the September EVICC meeting. The preliminary timeline remains subject to refinement as the scope and engagement plan develop. No specific pricing terms, funding amounts, or contract award information is detailed in this scoping presentation, which focuses primarily on the planning methodology and stakeholder engagement strategy for developing the Third Assessment's research and analysis framework.

Scoping EVICC’s Third Assessment

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.
