Overview
In August 2022, An Act Driving Clean Energy and Offshore Wind (Act) was signed into law. Recognizing the need for Massachusetts to develop a comprehensive plan for transportation emission reduction, the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Coordinating Council (EVICC) was established pursuant to Section 81 of the Act to develop strategies resulting in an equitable, interconnected, accessible and reliable electric vehicle (EV) charging network in Massachusetts. EVICC is required to report on these strategies to the legislature through a formal assessment submitted every two years (Assessment), starting in August 2023. Each Assessment must contain, but is not limited to the following:
- Assessment of the present condition of, and future needs for, road and highway electrification;
- Estimates of the number and type of electric vehicle charging stations in public and private locations;
- Suggestions for optimal locations for electric vehicle charging stations in urban, suburban and rural locations and low and moderate income communities;
- Discussion of present and projected future costs and methods of financing those costs;
- Discussion of technological advances in charging stations and related infrastructure, equipment and technology including, including data collection, mobile charging, assisting in grid management and assisting in the integration of renewable energy resources;
- Discussion of strategies to maintain electric vehicle charging stations in full and continuous working order;
- Recommendations to assist governmental and private sector officials in installing charging stations and related infrastructure, equipment and technology, including within proximity of on-street parking; and
- Identification and discussion of current policies and recommendations for policies, laws and regulatory actions that may facilitate the provision of charging stations and related infrastructure.
Second Assessment
On August 11, 2025, the EVICC released its Second Assessment and filed it with the legislature as required by law. The Second Assessment provides a detailed look at the current state of EV charging in Massachusetts, estimates of EV charging and associated electric grid needs in 2030 and 2035, and strategic actions to deliver an equitable, interconnected, accessible, and reliable EV charging network in Massachusetts. More information on this assessment and its development is available on the Second EVICC Assessment webpage.
Initial Assessment
On August 11, 2023, the EVICC provided its Initial Assessment to the legislature as required by law. More information on this assessment and its development is available on the Initial EVICC Assessment webpage.
