Abstract
Millions of electric vehicles are expected on American roads in the coming decade. California alone will require over two million publicly accessible chargers to support over 15 million electric vehicles by 2035, and nationwide over 28 million total chargers will be needed by 2030. To assist local agencies and community stakeholders with identifying high-priority investment zones for charging infrastructure, a research team at UC Berkeley, developed a public, open-access platform to inform equity-oriented electric vehicle infrastructure decision-making. As part of this work, the team analyzed existing research, electric vehicle and mobility plans, and obtained input from California local and state government program leaders to gather data across four core categories: equity, transportation infrastructure, grid infrastructure, and community resources.
