About this file
This is a scope presentation for the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and Charging Corridor (EVICC) Third Assessment developed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA). The assessment aims to deliver a concise, actionable evaluation of Massachusetts' electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) deployment strategy, with priority given to high-value charging investments including highway direct current fast charging (DCFC), multifamily Level 2 (L2), workplace, medium and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV), and curbside charging. The Third Assessment development timeline spans from Summer 2026 through Late Fall 2026, beginning with contractor onboarding and stakeholder interviews, followed by a public EVICC meeting on September 2, 2026, to present the proposed scope and gather member feedback. The scope refinement and outline formalization will occur in Early and Late Fall 2026 to guide the comprehensive assessment development.
The Third Assessment scope encompasses eight primary focus areas: prioritizing high-impact investment opportunities, implementing long-term load management and novel customer price signal approaches, developing a comprehensive medium and heavy-duty vehicle charging plan, improving EV charging road signage, analyzing charger utilization and payback periods, enhancing siting and permitting processes, assessing grid resilience during emergency events, and expanding municipal and public education resources. The analysis component includes modeling different EV charging scenarios, identifying areas with anticipated step load increases from fleet electrification, and conducting an inventory of public and private chargers. Stakeholder engagement occurs throughout the process, with member input particularly valuable during the Summer 2026 onboarding phase and at the September EVICC meeting, enabling participants to identify gaps, share perspectives, provide feedback, and prioritize or de-prioritize topics for the assessment.

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.
