About this file
This is a scope of work presentation for the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Coordinating Council (EVICC) Third Assessment, prepared by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA). The presentation outlines the development process for a comprehensive assessment aimed at accelerating EV charging infrastructure deployment to meet 2030 climate goals. The Third Assessment will build upon 32 recommendations from the Second Assessment and focus on strategic prioritization of charging investments, improved customer experience, program efficiency, long-term planning, grid impact mitigation, and removal of deployment barriers. The development timeline spans from Summer 2026 through late Fall 2026, with key milestones including contractor onboarding and initial stakeholder interviews in Summer 2026, a public EVICC meeting on September 2, 2026 to discuss proposed scope and gather feedback, scope refinement in early Fall 2026, and finalization of scope and outline in late Fall 2026. Member input is solicited to identify gaps, missing topics, emerging priorities, and areas for de-prioritization.
The Third Assessment scope encompasses eight major focus areas: prioritizing high-impact investment areas for public and private funding; long-term load management planning and novel customer price signal approaches; creation of a comprehensive plan for medium and heavy-duty vehicle charging; improvement of EV charging road signage; analysis of charger utilization and payback periods; siting, permitting, and interconnection improvements; grid resilience and infrastructure needs during emergencies; and expansion of resources and guidance for implementation and municipal support. The analysis phase includes modeling different EV charging scenarios, identifying areas with likely step load increases such as electrified fleet depots, and conducting an inventory of both public and private chargers. The preliminary timeline may be refined as the scope and engagement plan develop, with continued stakeholder engagement throughout the assessment development process.

Scoping EVICC’s Third Assessment

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.
